(Oh yeah)

(Holy crap really)

( @DrBracewell @𝚊𝚝𝚖𝚘𝚜 @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes) @Logged off @Lenn )

(Gtg)

( @megan )

18:39

(Who’s on who again?)

At this point, Onora was happy for the silence to be over. She exhaled shakily as she sat up.

(michael n smokeswirl are on Demeter)

18:40

Smokeswirl shifted in her seat. "I see. We should make the rest of this trip on foot."

“You Okay?” Jexus asked quietly.

18:40

“There’s no way Onora can walk.” Jexus said

“Nor can I.”

"Well, that will be an issue. I suppose the Fliers can fly above us and carry those two?"

Jexus visibly shrunk, but he owed it to Onora to keep flying. “I can take them.” he said shakily. “one flier will be less visible than two.”

18:43

(Man Jexus is tIReD yall should be ashamed of urselves)

“Jexus stop being tired”

18:43

(Okay I fixed it)

“No.” She piped up hoarsely. “I can walk.”

“No, you can’t. Especially since you didn’t take that painkiller.” Jexus told her. “I’ll carry you and a Ripred.”

Demeter cocked her head. "Are you sure? That's a lot of flying. Especially with a Gnawer and a human."

“No you will not!” Onora said, sliding off of Jexus, as she stumbled over towards Demeter.

“Maybe that isn’t the best idea...”

“Told you you should have listened to Howard.”

“Hey, has anyone died? I mean it seems like this has been going on for a while.”

Jexus laid a wing on Michael. “Not now,”

18:48

Jexus turned to Ripred

18:48

(Things are about to get bad)

18:51

“Yes, you ——-, people have died. And now my bond is sitting over there with a broken spine because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut for one second. And what about Genor. That ring any bells? He died for you. Because you fell over but he sacrificed his life for you. He was fourteen, Ripred. Fourteen.” (edited)

“Not here. Not now.” Onora said quietly, placing her soft hand up against his wing, sighing quietly. The pain had ceased, at least for now.

“He asked a question. Why are you getting mad at him now? And how’d you know about Genor?”

(Dammit I forgot I wasn’t there for Genor.)

18:53

(That was such a big part of my speech)

(someone, uh, told him)

(

(oh. my god)

(Omg yes this is canon now)

(Howard skipped leg day)

(SkSKSKSK HOWARD)

18:54

(JEXUS IS THICCC)

(By the way he has a shirt on his muscles are just so defined)

(Why is Jexus face so small but his head so big)

18:55

Jexus turned and spat at Michael’s feet. He wrenched away from Onora’s hand and took off, flying back the way they had came.

18:55

(Ok Jexus is pissed)

(idk he's your character)

18:56

"Oh, great. That was our strongest Flier." Smokeswirl snapped.

(I wasn’t blaming him, I was asking a question lol)

(Shh Jexus has a lot of things go8ng in right now don’t take it personally)

Onora tried to grab ahold of his wing, but that didn’t happen. It seemed as if her knees gave out. Everything became still, the only person she was really close to had left. She didn’t care if anyone saw or not. Onora let the tears streak from her light violet eyes. She crumbled to the ground.

18:57

(Too late)

Demeter looked to the group. "Should I chase him?"

(A little late but)

18:59

Ripred choked back some tears. “ Oh... I see...” (edited)

Michael sighed, trying to keep his temper under control. He’d been a little... feisty... lately. “Well that was rude.”

The group stood apart from one another. Their companionship had broken. They felt empty, hollow.

19:00

(Ok hahaha it’s officially a new day for me)

(You’re making Ripred wayyy too emotional.)

“No no... I understand.”

19:00

(I mean his personality is pretty much gone)

(Mm, this is ripred we’re talking about)

19:01

(Bring it BACK)

(So he’s pretty much just emotionally unbalanced)

(Nah I’m only mad at Jexus and Onora and slightly at Ripred but that’s mostly gone now)

She had sat on the ground quietly. Sulking. Onora had aches badly, she ignored it. Her hair covered her tired face.

(I mean you should be more mad at me but okay)

(But once he regains his memory, honey, he’s got a big storm comin’)

Demeter watched Jexus disappear from sight. "I guess it is too late to follow him. Hopefully, he makes it past the Gnawers."

“So much for protecting Onora with his life.” (edited)

(Omg no that was spicy for a bond)

Everyone sucked in a breath

Congratulations, @DrBracewell, you've fulfilled 15 prophecies!

(Ok Michael that was OUT OF ORDER)

(Congrats Brace!)

(YOU FLIPPING TRYHARD)

(Haha I’ll beat you all soon)

(I mean congrats)

(Someone give him the rager role pls)

(I can d9 it myself lol)

(Oh yeah)

(I don’t know what to say now :/))

Howard spoke up “Michael... don’t say stuff like that.”

19:06

“Bonds are much more serious than that.” Howard continued.

“Sorry, but I don’t know if he’s coming back. He’s pretty pissed and it seems like it would be hard to come back, there are no notable landmarks to retrace your steps with.”

“But what you’re implying is treason.”

Demeter fluttered to Onora. "Are you okay?" She whispered.

“Well I’ve got a lot to learn about this place. I’m just saying I don’t know if he can, even if he does want to.”

It was clear water to Onora. Jexus didn’t want to be her bond. She got it, finally understanding it. A wave of tears flooded Onora’s light eyes.

(Wow this is so sad I think we should just end the rp her night everyone)

(Oh. Night?)

He saw Onora and immediately regretted what he’d said. “I didn’t mean it. Bats have a really good sense of smell, right? He could find us again.”

(Nah jk)

(THANK GOD)

(We cant leave it like this)

“He’s not mad at you,” Michael continued. “It’s my fault.”

(How?)

(I asked him a question and I guess that’s treason too)

19:10

(Jk)

Suddenly, Jexus appeared in the distance again. He seemed to be flying as fast as he could. He landed as quickly as possible, but avoided Onora’s eyes. “I found them. The crushers. You need to come and see this.”

"We have a mission." Smokeswirl protested.

“Oh boy,” he said. Not now. The group was in the worst position possible- Jexus pissed, Onora heartbroken, Smokeswirl freezing up, Ripred with amnesia, Michael feeling guilty.

(This our mission dumb dumb)

(

)

(smh stupid they gotta go to the place the beetles are from, i got surprises there owo)

“Mount up!” Jexus yelled, shocking them out of their frozen positions.

(Wait are we really doing this right now?)

(Yeah we’re going there now that’s the point)

(It's weeks away)

19:13

(or at least a week)

(Okay)

(What that’s so far)

(I mean I gtg probably)

19:14

(It’s uncharted for a reason)

(stuff will totally happen on the way silly goose)

(0h my god)

(I literally just stared at that for a full minute without the willpower to type anything)

19:17

(Okay Fine this is just a small ambush?)

(Same)

(Sure! they can send another small-ish group)

(I mean if this is, put me off into a cave or something? I mean I’m closing up in the restaurant in a few minutes, plus I doubt he can rage)

(Sure)

Onora asked Demeter if she could fly with her, hurting to much to walk far.

Demeter nodded. "If you wish, feel free to remain in the cave with Ripred." She said quickly.

(He can rage whether he has amnesia or not)

(No you’ll see what I mean)

19:21

(If he tries to rage)

(leg machine broke)

(Oh yeah that too)

19:23

(Ez he starts to levitate)

She nodded, quietly boarding Demeter as they got ready to take off. (edited)

19:25

(Btrp?)

(?)

Demeter motioned for Michael to mount.

19:26

(huh)

19:26

(what does that mEan)

(Back to roleplay)

(I see)

Michael did just that.

Jexus grunted. “Okay. Demeter... Onora, Michael, Smokeswirl and I will go check this out, the rest of you stay here.”

(oh okay)

“Are you sure? Onora’s injured and Smokeswirl froze last time, which could be dangerous for her.” (edited)

“Smokeswirl? Are you coming?” Jexus asked.

(he's on demeter but now that I think about it you could take her or offer to)

Onora nodded, she didn’t want to argue anymore. “I should stay here.” The halflander said, agreeing with Michael.

“I’d say replace those two with Gregor and Howard.”

Jexus grunted again, unwilling to acknowledge Onora’s comment or the fact that Michael was right. “Then let’s go.”

“Not to speak for you two or anything. If you feel like you should go then by all means do”

19:31

“By the way, Jexus, I wasn’t blaming you, I’m mad at him too. I was asking a question.”

"I'm going." Smokeswirl insisted. She needed to know as much as she could about the Crushers.

“You sure?” Michael asked, mounting Demeter. (edited)

Onora sat down. She was to stay alone. As Nike insisted to stay with Howard at all times.

Congratulations, @𝚊𝚝𝚖𝚘𝚜, you've fulfilled 16 prophecies!

(Yay!)

(No way)

“Let’s not do this now.” Jexus growled at Michael, letting Gregor on his back.

“I’m not arguing with you, I’m just telling you because I don’t want you to be mad at me.”

(What did he JUST say man)

(Michael is deaf)

With a final glance back at Onora, finally catching her eyes, Jexus launched off towards the crushers.

“Let’s not die.”

Demeter rocketed after him quickly, beating her wings as hard as she could.

“Just in case you forgot that you shouldn’t.”

“Don’t you ever shut up” Howard murmured under his breath.

Nike lifted off the ground with the others, beating her small wings as fast as she could. Onora watched them leave, as she said something quietly. “Fly you high.”

“Nope, I don’t. Maybe right now isn’t the best time to make observations like that though.”

Howard was getting increasingly annoyed by Michael

19:38

(Jeez Michael take a hint)

19:38

(Let’s go)

Michael was increasingly starting to care less and less about what these people thought of him. He wasn’t sure what he did wrong, besides the bond comment. That was bad of him. But in that moment he wasn’t sure if Jexus was coming back. (edited)

(bad timing, but I gotta go for a bit to eat dinner)

(Peace out)

The three fliers got closer to the area Jexus said he said seen the Crushers. “What do you know about them?” he asked Smokeswirl.

19:40

(Oh Bye)

19:41

(Ima take a break now ping me when wolf comes back)

“They’re a little taller than the cockroaches and about five feet wide. They don’t like us, obviously.” (edited)

19:42

(Superdooldedunderflop)

20:20

(I probably said that wrong)

(Farewell everybody good rp tonight.)

20:21

(Jexus and Onora need to patch things up)

(And Mikl needs to figure out why the heck Jexus is angry)

(Bcos He was RUD and OBNOXIOUS)

(Cause your a meany)

(When)

(When you insulted the bond)

(He wasn’t there)

(When you insulted me about Ripred)

(Well telepathic connections he could feel it BUDY)

(That wasn’t an insult that was an actual question)

(Also Jexus is just kinda angry rn just let him chill)

(Wait how did he insult you about me?)

Congratulations, @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes), you've fulfilled 16 prophecies!

(How does that!?!!?)

20:23

(What did I miss? Mikl y you insult him)

(You were there and he snapped at you and I asked him why he snapped at you then instead of when it happened out of curiosity but since he’s just reading words instead of hearing my voice he thought I was blaming him)

(...yes)

(I told you Jexus is gOIng ThROugH sOMeThInG juSt ChiLl dUDe)

(2,4,6,8, I will eat off of your plate)

(Also he’s pretty pissed at Onora but he’s taking it out on Mikl)

(I know I was just saying I wasn’t trying to insult him)

20:26

(Oh okay)

20:26

(Because she didn’t take the painkiller?)

(That’s none of your buisness mIchAEl)

(Oh ok)

(Btw just assume everything I say in brackets is a joke, don’t take anything personally)

(I know dw)

(Farewell)

(Peace out)

(That’s a good idea)

(I am alive)

(Just as I go to bed)

(What I miss?)

(well wake up then lolol)

“Do you have any idea why they Howard and Jexus are mad at me? Did I do something bad?” Michael asked Demeter.

"I am not sure." She replied in a low tone. "I believe that tensions are just high. Little things can be made larger on days like these."

“Yeah. I think I shouldn’t have made that comment about Jexus though. They really care about each other, and I hurt Onora’s feelings. That was out of line,” he said shamefully, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I suppose. But you were unaware of its effects at the time." Demeter offered.

Do not beat yourself up about it Replied Edwynn swooping in from nowhere. It is good you have acknowledged your wrongdoing.

“That didn’t make it any better. I think I should apologize. Oh, hi Edwynn- when did you get here?” (edited)

~~apparently just now~~ I have been keeping to myself at the back for some time. She responded (edited)

“Huh. Well, thanks.”

"Apologizing is always a good idea. But it would be best to wait. We approach a dangerous situation. It is good to see both of you, by the way."

“Agreed, definitely not just now. After the battle is over.”

( cough cough What battle?)

(We’re going to attack the crushers rn)

(Sweet I’m in)

(apparently Jexus saw some crushers, but this isn't their homeland yet uwu)

(Uwu)

(is @DrBracewell alive or did they leave)

(Aren’t they like 8 hours ahead of us)

(oh shood)

(Siwndorfei im alive)

(Me too)

(Wait who’s alive)

Demeter also dove behind the boulder, squishing in tightly with the other bats. (edited)

( @𝚊𝚝𝚖𝚘𝚜 @Lenn I cant really talk since they’ll hear us)

(that's okay)

(Idk what to do

(Wait are we rp’ing?)

(Yes)

(we have to wait until Brace gets back to interact with anything but yee)

(Dang)

(K ima about to be in a place with no data, I’ll start rp’ing at around 4:15)

(I can join in then too) (edited)

Suddenly, the buzzing grew louder. Another small group, this time only with only about five Crushers. Their iridescent shells gleamed, and their translucent wings whirred loudly. They were heading towards the Gnawer territory at a wicked pace.

(Bleh I’m eating old cookie dough and it’s disgusting)

(that reminds me imma go get some oreos)

15:58

"What should we do?" Demeter whispered. "Should we stop them? I know it's not our mission, but..."

16:01

Smokeswirl piped up. "I have an idea. If we attack, we could kill all but one, and interrogate it." She suggested quietly.

“Can they talk?”

"I guess we'll find out soon." Demeter whispered.

“Alright. Let’s try it.”

(now we should wait)

(Aww, that gives me nothing to do)

16:03

(Except my homework)

(Same)

(Ok I’m here)

(yay)

16:28

( @megan we ready)

(I’m driving. Be back in 5)

(sure thing)

(Okay we do this in five)

16:30

(I’m driving back too be back in five) (edited)

"Are we doing this?" Whispered Demeter.

(Five what though?)

(days) (edited)

(Banned for breaking da rules)

(Seconds? Hours? Days? Months? Years? Decades? Centuries? Millennia?)

(Eons)

(Eras?)

(The unit is cat)

(Ages?)

(HOLY CRAP NOT CAT)

(Oh ok 5 cats gotcha)

(Im mean I’ll be eating dinner by then)

(If y'all wanna start the fight feel free, Megan will probably be back soon enough to not miss anything)

(Back. 5 cats is over)

(woohoo)

(Lit we all ready?)

"Are we doing this?" Whispered Demeter. The Crushers were beginning to disappear from sight, their buzzing remaining as loud as ever.

I’m ready when you are. Edwynn whispered back.

Jexus nodded. He had been quiet for most of the trip, but was ready to do this.

Smokeswirl turned to the group. "Get them on the ground, we will have the advantage." She hissed, before running out into the middle of the tunnel. The Crushers hadn't seen her, but they certainly heard her when she roared: "Crushers!" (edited)

Edwynn lept out from behind the rock, following Smokeswirl’s lead. Edwynn let out a loud yell and took the head off the crusher closest to her. She took a running leap and jumped off the back of another only to land on Cass. The pair veered off to the left and scoped the scene.

Ripred whispered to Michael. “Are we going to fight the cutters?”

This time, Smokeswirl was ready for the fight. She launched into the air, pinning the smallest of the Crushers to the ground. It was wiry and iridescent green, with many black legs. It struggled, but could not snap her with its huge pincers.

16:44

(isn't ripred back at the cave)

Jexus took off, before spiralling back down between two crushers and opening his wings with a snap , knocking them out of the air. Both beetles hit the ground on their backs with a thud. Jexus pulled out of the dive, looking quite pleased with himself. (edited)

(Danfg it)

16:44

(Okay disregard everything I said)

Smokeswirl roared in pain as the Crusher struggled. It rubbed and smashed against her injuries, loosening her bandages.

16:45

Demeter circled the fight, ready to swoop in to help.

Cass caught Jexus’ eye and nodded. She was impressed with his maneuver but not surprised at his subtle arrogance even in battle. Excellent technique! She called to him.

(I believe in you guys)

Jexus focussed on one of the larger crushers, circling around it a couple times before suddenly bursting towards it at full speeds. He grabbed it out of the air with his claws and swung it towards the side of the cave. It hit the wall with a sickening crunch and slid to the ground. Jexus smirked back at Cass.

(Is that all of them? There were five)

(Make five)

16:47

(-hUndReD) (edited)

(Those brackets are unequal.)

Cass rolled her eyes at Jexus and spun around to inspect the scene.

(The one Jexus through against the wall is dead, I suppose the ones he knocked to the ground can still be alive, just injured. Drag out the fight a little longer)

(Let’s say more came in. Like 10-20 more)

(Does Michael want to get em?)

Congratulations, @Lenn, you've fulfilled 16 prophecies!

(Sure go for it)

16:49

(Gg)

Cass whirled around to see more crushers pouring into the tunnel. She turned to Edwynn, who merely nodded in response, and they dove.

(Together?)

16:50

(Smacks lips That’s cute)

Jexus followed the bonds into the new attackers, and the trio seemed to instinctively understand each other’s attacks and strategies.

A particularly large Crusher came at Jexus from behind, but Demeter swerved in and knocked into its side. It was thrown several feet to the left, wobbling in the air. She couldn't kill it, not being physically strong enough. It turned to her, clicking angrily, ready to attack her instead.

(Sorry I was unaware)

Edwynn and Cass rolled and sliced the crusher, angrily clicking at Demeter, in two. The pair rolled again and Edwynn breathed a small sigh of relief. (edited)

Jexus was too involved in the fight to acknowledge Demeter saving his life. He used his strength and weight to physically pull the crushers towards rocks and each other. He took down beetle after beetle, his fur becoming soaked in purplish blood as he did so. (edited)

Michael ran to a beetle. He didn’t want to kill it, but he had to. It would be hard to win a war without killing anybody. As he was running towards It, he noticed something. He wasn’t nervous at all. He ran to drive the blade into its head but then another one surprised him from the side and landed a harsh blow on his back.

Demeter soared downward to protect Smokeswirl, who was still busy pinning the small Crusher down and roaring in pain. She fought off several other Crushers who aimed to attack the rat.

Get him off the ground! Edwynn yells to no one in particular, pointing at a stunned Michael.

Demeter pushed a few Crushers off of Smokeswirl, and rocketed over to Michael. She quickly scooped him up, lifting him by the back of his shirt, and dropped him next to Smokeswirl so she could defend them both.

“Thank you,” he said quietly. He tried to stand up but the crusher got him good, and he couldn’t.

Edwynn nodded and shouted a brief thanks to Demeter as her and her bond rocketed by. Edwynn realized she was needed on the ground and flipped off Cass. She landed directly in front of Michael and to the left of Demeter, her sword drawn.

Jexus landed next to Smokeswirl, Demeter and Michael. This was where they would make their stand.

Demeter nodded at the approaching fighters, bracing herself against the oncoming attack.

(Why am I imagining that scene from avengers age of ultron when all the avengers leap over a fence as one)

(well now I'm imagining it)

Cass swooped in next to Jexus.

The group stood in a circle, defending Michael and Smokeswirl. “Can you keep that one down?” Jexus asked Smokeswirl.

Edwynn saw they were being surrounded. Fliers! Pick them off from the air! She shouted in an attempt to lessen the number of crawlers approaching.

(Now Im imagaining it) (edited)

"I can if you hurry up!" She shouted.

“Then let’s kill the rest.” Jexus told the rest of the group.

(I haven’t seen that movie so I’m not)

(get on that, I love marvel movies)

(IKR, I’m so hyped bcos I’m seeing the midnight premiere of endgame)

(gah I have to see it the day after it comes out because my friend's mom ordered tickets too late)

(Rly? I mean I have a concert so I can’t :()

Edwynn raced toward Smokeswirl, jumping off the poor rat’s back as she launched herself at the crusher. Sorry! She yelled to Smokeswirl as she flipped through the air and ran her sword through the unrelenting crusher.

(I would probably like them but I actually can’t understand literally anything they’re saying)

Jexus took off again, roaring a battle cry as his hurled his body into large crusher, physically knocking it into another one. Both beetles tumbled to the ground and split apart on the rocks below.

(Subtitles)

Demeter soared around Smokeswirl and her Crusher, knocking several of them back. However, one landed on her back and its weight caused her to plummet. She landed on her stomach painfully, struggling against the Crusher on top of her.

(But it’s gunna be annoying since it’s on a school night lol and it ends at like 3am)

Cass plucked a rather large crusher from the ground, spinning in a tight circle, barely hanging on to the bug. Jexus! She shouted, flinging the creature at him. (edited)

Jexus noticed Demeter struggling and swooped down, picking up the crusher in his claws before flying back up and flinging it towards the ground. He noticed the beetle Cass had thrown at him and he dived back down. He hit the bug head-on and forced it all the way to the ground. Jexus pushed it down onto a sharp looking stalagmite, and the spike went through the beetles shell and out through its stomach, splattering Jexus’ underbelly with blood. Jexus pulled out of the dive metres before he hit the ground, and turned to check on the rest of his friends.

17:12

(Wow that was badass)

17:12

(Also slightly gruesome)

(I know right)

17:13

(No wonder Demeter likes him)

(Demeter was horrified and decided that jexus gros)

(Noooooooo)

(gros)

(Bros before hoes! Cass reminded her)

(Yet Jexus is a bro cause he’s a dude)

Demeter nodded in thanks before immediately launching back into battle. A few Crushers were swarming Smokeswirl, and she knocked them back again. She was beginning to grow fatigued, early battle adrenaline wearing off slow;y.

17:15

(sksksk)

(Jexus winked at Demeter and pulled a hoe out of thin air. He gave it to her.)

(Awwww)

(0h my g)

Jexus was tiring too, but his spirits were lifted after he noticed that there weren’t too many crushers left.

"Hurry it up!" Shouted Smokeswirl. The Crusher she held down was getting an edge on her.

Jexus flew straight back into the fight, catching a beetle in a bear hug and spinning round before he let it go and it smashed into a wall.

Edwynn rolled to Smokeswirl, hoping to be of some help. She took off two of the crushers legs as Smokeswirl pinned it down.

"Don't kill it! We need it!" She shouted over the din of the battle.

(Why?)

Edwynn nodded and turned to defend the rat from any more beetles.

(I have to go)

(to interrogate it, if possible)

The fighters picked off the last few crushers, but just as Jexus was clawing the underbelly of a large beetle, it opened his mouth wide and bit down on his face, hard. Jexus screamed in pain, and dropped the bge.

(Oh okay)

bug

17:20

(Jexus just lost his eye)

(WHAT)

(Dw it makes him look like a gangsta)

(Haha jk)

(That is, After he overcomes the immense pain it’s giving him)

Cass swooped toward the screaming and bloodied Jexus, killing the beetle that attacked him on her way. Are you injured?! She asks.

Jexus looked at her, blood streaming from his empty socket, and nodded, before collapsing to the ground.

(Looks up to her with two hollowed out eye sockets)

17:22

(NOONNNOOOOOO DONT DIE)

(No he’s fine)

(Oh okay)

17:23

(I mean now he a kool gangsta)

(Now Demeter just attracted to him more)

(

)

"Defend Smokeswirl, Edwynn! I'll get him out of here!" Demeter said, flying near Jexus and landing on the ground.

(Na it’s ok we’ve almost finished off the last few beetles)

Edwynn nodds On it! she yells back, before stabbing a crusher. Her sword goes through its head to the floor.

After a couple of attempts Michael finally got up, and he tried to attack the beetles going near Smokeswirl and failed miserably. He only got a few small hits that only made the crushers mad.

She frowned, realizing that he was far too heavy to remove from the fight. Her best bet was to wait it out, and defend the injured Flier.

(Ok let the fight start to fizzle out now)

Finally, there were only a few Crushers left. They were destroyed quickly, leaving only a few twitching on the ground. The one beneath Smokeswirl was exhausted.

Jexus whimpered, subject to some primordial instinct inside of him. His face was burning, and his brain couldn’t make sense of what his single eye was showing him

Edwynn saw the last crusher race for Michael. She whipped out her dagger and flung it at the last bug, hitting it right between the eyes.

(Is it dead?)

(Weren’t we supposed to leave one)

(no it's just tired, still alive)

(Smokeswirl has the one that’s alove)

(Oh okay)

(it's like riding a bucking bronco)

17:30

Smokeswirl panted loudly. "One of you needs to get this." She rolled off of the beetle, which didn't move much. But it was still alive. It tried to scutter off.

(Kill it)

(Oh Wait Howard’s here)

(The beetle runs towards him)

Howard pulled out his sword and stabbed the beetle in the abdomen, pinning it to the ground but not killing it.

"Tie its wings down, and tie it to a stalagmite. Then we can see if it can speak." Demeter called from beside Jexus.

(Okay guys I have swimming now and it’s the championship gtg!)

(Bye!)

(have fun)

Edwynn pulled rope out of the pack and did what Demeter suggested.

Jexus lay unmoving beside Demeter, occasionally whimpering in pain.

17:34

(Brb)

The beetle clicked loudly, speaking out in an odd, clipped, alien tone. "Get off of me." It spoke without any intonations in its voice, like it was stating a fact. (edited)

Edwynn shocked that the thing could speak, quickly regained her bearings. She pulled her sword out and held it to the beetles neck. Why are you attacking? She spat.

"So those bastards can speak." Growled Smokeswirl between her heavy breaths. Her chest was heaving, and she vomited from physical exertion and pain.

17:36

(sorry for swearing blame smokeswirl)

17:37

The Crusher looked at her with beady eyes. "I answer no questions."

Edwynn pushed the sword harder into the bug. Answer now! she demanded, with fire in her eyes.

(Shane cartwheels in, steals the sword from Edwyyn and stabs hiself) (edited)

(Mood)

(or Edywynn)

The Crusher clicked in pain, snapping its mandibles together. "I answer only to the Prowlers, not you."

(lol)

Edwynn was taken aback momentarily. Who are the prowlers? She asked the pathetic bug, glancing at the others.

The insect wiggled its remaining legs, but didn't answer

(they lions)

(Hey guys, I won’t be back till 6-8 sorry)

While they were questioning the bug, Michael moved to Jexus. “Are you okay?”

(aw okay)

(Darn)

17:43

(Peace out)

"I believe he is unconscious." Whispered Demeter.

(Oh sorry I didn’t see that message)

"It would be helpful if you could apply bandages and pressure. I cannot with my claws."

(What time zone you in attie?)

“Where?”

Howard rushed over to Jexus pushing Michael aside.

"Try one of the packs."

“Okay then,” he said, too shaken up to be bothered. (edited)

(Shush your squeamish he’s doing you a favour)

Demeter gently shook one of his shoulders with her wing. "Try to wake up, but do not move your head."

(Yeah but he didn’t have to push me

)

Howard gently picked up Jexus’ head, and gasped slightly. “It took out his whole eye” Howard said, visibly shaken.

Demeter winced, observing the wound. "It is bad."

“Oh man, that’s terrible,” Michael said, imagining the pain but not knowing what to say.

“There’s a wound running from his eyebrow to lip. It will definitely leave a scar. We need to stop it from getting infected.” Howard said, calling for Nike to pass him the supplies.

“How do you do that? Just by bandaging it up?” (edited)

He will have to sew the wound. Edwynn responded for Howard, who was covered in Jexus’ blood. (edited)

(Is Edwynn gonna interrogate the crusher now)

"It will need to be disinfected." Demeter answered.

“Wow. That’s not a job for the weak.”

(I think we should just kill the crusher, he isn't talkin)

(I’m on it)

(I think we should threaten him or keep him as prosoner or take him to the palace)

Howard reached into the medkit. “All of those things, but it will also take a toll on Jexus. It may take months for him to adjust to seeing with one eye.” (edited)

(he's like, an inch from death.)

“Is there anything I can do to help you? Since I have thumbs and Demeter and Nike don’t?”

"He will pull through. Fliers do not need sight to manage. We use echolocation more often than sight." Demeter said hopefully.

Edwynn turns back to the crusher. Answer or die. She threatens. I will happily kill you and not think twice about it if you are not useful to us. She says to the bug, glaring at it.

Howard first poured a clear white vial down Jexus’ throat, then gently pulled his head into his lap. (if Jexus wasn’t unconscious rn he would be having the time of his life. Who doesn’t want their head in Howard’s lap?) (edited)

(Haha)

The beetle looked at her with black, beady eyes. "We will take what is ours."

“This should keep him unconscious whilst I clean and sow the wound. Can you pass me that cloth and the green bottle?” Howard asked Michael.

17:55

Howard poured some of the liquid onto the cloth, then gingerly wiped Jexus’ face with it, trying to stop as much bleeding as possible.

Michael did exactly what Howard said.

He caught sight of Michael’s concerned face. “Do not worry about the amount of blood. Facial wounds bleed heavily, but are rarely too serious.”

"Do you think he hit his head when he received the wound?" Demeter asked quietly.

Edwynn is enraged at the beetle. Tell your leader you will regret threatening the Underland. All other creatures allied with the humans will stop your efforts to take over. You will be destroyed, stomped underfoot, and valued less than the muck on the bottom of our boots. She hisses at the pathetic creature. She cuts the ropes off, nicking the bug as she does. (edited)

comfort

(Nice)

17:58

Michael nodded at what Howard said.

The beetle buzzed into the air, flying off into the darkness.

“Perhaps, but I more am worried about the eye socket. It will get infected easily, and... well, it still has part of his eye in it. We will have too.. pull it out.” Howard said, squirming slightly.

“Oh-“ Michael felt sick thinking about it.

Congratulations, @(moved accounts) Mikl Pickle, you've fulfilled 17 prophecies!

(Heck Yes)

"Oh." Demeter choked.

Are you able to do it Howard? Edwynn asked, acknowledging the green tint on his face.

“Yes, yes. I must.” Howard said, readying himself.

18:00

Howard poured some of the green liquid he had put on the cloth over his hands, then washed them with water.

Michael would’ve offered to do it, but he simply couldn’t. He looked away.

He wiped away as much blood as he could, then slowly reached into Jexus’ bloodied eye socket. He felt sick, but groped around until he got his fingers around something squishy. He pulled it out, hard, exposing the optic nerve. “Michael.” Howard said shakily “Can you please cut through that nerve right there. There is a pair of scissors in the medkit.”

18:04

“Cut it as close to the socket as possible.”

Demeter shuddered, but forced herself to watch in case Jexus awoke and she had to hold him still. Her whole body shook.

(Man thank Sandwich he’s unconscious)

18:05

Michael reluctantly cut it with a horrified expression on his face.

Howard dumped the bloody mess that had once been Jexus’ eye on the ground, then dampened a clean cloth and gently wiped the eye socket. He reached for a sowing kit.

18:06

“This will take a while. Perhaps someone should fetch Onora and Ripred?”

“I... can.” Michael no longer wanted to watch or learn the process of healing or touch anyone ever again.

18:08

(Ahh man I actually feel some stomach acid rising in my throat imagining this)

“Perhaps do not show Onora Jexus yet.” Howard suggested, dextrously threading a needle.

I shall accompany him. Edwynn replied, standing up and following the shaky Michael.

Howard exhaled, and began the slow process of sowing up Jexus’ face wound.

They both mounted Cass and headed off to the cave. Michael closed his eyes.

(Does anyone know when attie’ll be back?)

(No)

(Do we just wanna wait for them then?)

(Nah we can keep going for a little bit I guess)

18:11

(Let’s just finish fixing Jexus)

18:12

Howard took over an hour to sow up Jexus’ wound. After he had finished, he cleaned it again, wiping away as much blood as he could before bandaging it up tightly.

Smokeswirl had curled up on the ground beside the river, having dunked her face in and downed what must be gallons of water. She was covered in cuts.

(What happened to Smokeswirl, why couldn’t she fight? Sorry I didn’t catxh it)

(She pinned down a Crusher for the entire fight so it could be interrogated.)

He put the bloody needle next to the remains of Jexus’ eye, washed his hands thoroughly and packed up the medkit. He walked a couple metres away from the group, breathing shakily. (edited)

(Oh ok)

(but she got some new injuries, and made the old ones worse)

18:15

Smokeswirl groaned. "So holding that Crusher was a waste of time, I suppose. We learned nothing."

(Demeter can you go check on Howard?)

(I would but uh I gotta go)

18:16

(gotta go to dinner)

18:16

(seeya)

(Oof bye)

18:16

(I guess we should pause her then for an couple mins)

Cass flew back with Onora and after dropping her, Edwynn, and Michael off she went on another trip to get Ripred.

18:16

(I can check on him I’m back, and @Lenn will you be back?)

(Ok sure go chat to Howard)

Michael walked to Howard. “Hey, man, you alright? That didn’t look easy.”

Howard breathed out heavily. “Huh? Oh, yeah. I’ve done stuff like that before, but never out in the field. I’m not even entirely sure he will survive, that cut will get infected really easily, especially out here.” Howard shook his head slightly. “I’ve got to go check on everyone else.”

(where are you guys?)

18:21

(At the cave or...)

(We’re at the battlefield, but Cass has brought you over)

(Okay)

18:23

Ripred looked at the sickening sight. “What happens to him?” Without even squirming he checked his pulse. “I mean at least the flier lives.” (edited)

“Yeah,” Howard said tiredly “At least he’s alive for now.” (edited)

“I really hope so. Onora needs him.”

“Did you release the hostage?”

“Yes, he wasn’t that useful.” Howard yawned, before lying down and falling asleep instantly. (edited)

“Now he knows our location. Why would you do that? We are sure to see some resistance on our way now.”

“He said something about prowlers.”

18:27

“That’s why we’re gonna move. The worst part is that they know we’re even here.”

“That’s what I just... nevermind. Let us go.” (edited)

(You said they know our location, not that they know we were even there in the first place)

(Crap thats what I meant)

(Are we still Rp'ing?)

(I want to but Wolf and Atmos is gone and Howard is asleep)

(Like the cahracters or the people?)

(When I call them by their discord name I mean the people and when I call them by their character names I mean the characters)

(Back!)

(I can rp in 20)

(K)

(Cool Onora come see Jexus)

19:23

(You’ve just arrived on Cass) (edited)

19:23

(He’s unconscious tho)

Onora had flopped off of Cassiopeia, her back feeling better. She rushed to the scene, looking at her bond, horrified. “Is he going to be alright?”

Howard had awoken, and was busy reapply Jexus’ bloodied bandages. He glanced behind him when he heard Onora’s voice. “It is hard to tell. I cleaned and sowed the wound as best I could, but he could still easily catch an infection.”

(She’s gonna be hormonal)

19:28

Onora rushed over to him, gingerly touching her wings as she sat with him. Maybe she could’ve helped if she went, but didn’t. Protect their life with yours, right? The halflander sobbed quietly.

(Oh god just don’t hit on Howard)

(Oh heck no)

Howard gingerly laid a hand on her shoulder. “It is not your fault.”

“Get away!” She hissed, removing his hand from her shoulder roughly. (edited)

Howard hesitated, but then turned away and walked back to Nike. He understood her pain, of course, but was angry at her lack of recognition of how much he did to save Jexus.

She quietly cried into her arm. Leaning on him she stroked his fur quietly.

It was hours before Jexus awoke. As he opened his eye, a searing pain shot through his head. His face felt like it was on fire. “Hey.” he croaked out hoarsely.

Michael saw Jexus waking up from the corner of his eye and smiled, but didn’t want to interrupt Onora and Jexus. He’d talk to him later.

Onora, sleep-ridden, has startled awake. She hugged Jexus hard around some part of his body where she could get ahold of. “You furry idiot.”

(I’m back and it’s spicy)

Jexus groaned and leaned back. “My face is burning.” he complained. - Howard approached holding an orange vial. “Take this painkiller every couple hours or so. And tell me if the wound starts bleeding or leaking pus.” he said. - Jexus nodded. “So what actually happened?” he asked no-one in particular.

Edwynn piped up. a crusher attacked your face. I killed the bug that did it. (edited)

“Good job.” Ripred muttered, returning to his old self.

Jexus laughed, but it soon devolved into a coughing bout. “Well, yeah, but who patched me up?”

“At least he fought, Ripred.”

(Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh)

Howard did. Edwynn replied. He did an excellent job

Onora sat there, her hair draped over her shoulder as she listened to the story, still worried for Jexus’s health. His wound was far more worse than hers. “Thank you.” She said softly to Howard.

“And he killed so many, too, it was just luck for that crusher. He did a lot better than I did, anyways,” Michael said, thinking about the huge wound on his back. “I was barely able to do anything.”

Howard just shook his head slightly. “I took an oath.” he said simply. “To help anyone in harm.”

(OooOoOooOoo a quote)

“Did you get hurt, Michael?”

(I mean technically it was harm relating to water but OKAY)

19:46

“Yes. A lot.”

These oaths. It’s like everything they did followed some sort of code. Onora sat there and rolled her eyes.

(Yeah But then he became good at all healing)

Congratulations, @DrBracewell, you've fulfilled 16 prophecies!

“But not as much as Onora or Jexus by any means.”

(Hahaha get rekt kids)

(Higher than Wolf)

19:47

(A week ago you’d sent, like, 5 messages in total)

Howard shook his head. “You all need medical attention.” he said. “Michael, get over here.”

19:49

Jexus closed his one good eye and laid back, savouring Onora’s touch. “So what happens next?” he asked quietly.

I shall help. Is anyone else injured? Edwynn inquired.

“Are you sure you don’t wanna tend to somebody else first?” Michael said, walking to Howard. “It’s on my back, could we go somewhere... private?” ( ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) (edited)

Ripred sighed.”Never compare your injuries with others.”

Howard furrowed his brow. “No... here is fine. Turn over, let me see,”

(Oooh I wanna see

)

19:51

(Awwwww)

(Howard knows what’s up MICHAEL)

(Why you gotta be like this Howard)

19:51

(He wanted to stab you)

(He ain’t going nowhere with you)

(The spice increases)

“Okay,” Michael said, a little embarrassed. (he doesn’t want anybody seeing his back)

(Yum yum)

(na jk we can g8 somewhere I guess)

“What the flip m’boi nows he embarrassed look watchu done”

19:52

(I feel like that’s something he would say right?)

This made Onora uncomfortable, and her back began to sweat and itch. The bandages slowly loosened, but she decided not to address it at this moment.

human

(xD)

(Haha)

Howard picked up the medkit and he and Michael walked a little away from the group. “Let me see” Howard said.

(Why the heck did it do that)

Michael showed Howard the wound that a crusher had made on his back. (edited)

(The ‘sound’)

(It made Onora uncomfortable)

human

(Whoa He made a sound on your back?)

(Listen to his back Howard! It’s telling you it’s shy) (edited)

Congratulations, @megan, you've fulfilled 13 prophecies!

(It has come for her)

(Whoops lol)

(Man I HATE IT when someone makes a sound on my back)

(whispers on back hello)

Howard exhaled in relief. It wasn’t as bad as he’d thought. “You’ll be fine,” he said, pouring some water on it and bandaging it. “It’s not deep, and not bleeding too badly.” (edited)

(Dang Howard, pound that water on)

(Hehbdkwndieiwndcomfortbsjxnwodnsj)

human

(No it pulled out his spine)

“That’s good. I didn’t get to see it, I just knew it hurt a lot.”

(OMG THE ODDS)

(Lmao)

(WHAT)

(You realize she put comfort there on purpose right)

human

(EVEN AUTOCORRECT IS ON ON THE JOKE)

19:56

(SHHHHHH)

(To test whether it would say human)

comfort

(Comfy)

(That thing is ridiculous)

(Why?)

(KEEP GOING WITH THE SPICE SMH)

(Onora Jexus asked you a question)

(Imma be right back)

(Any Human would enjoy this)

comfort

(H u m a n)

(Wait what question?)

(Hummus)

(That’s not fair)

19:57

(Scroll up)

(Such derailment, many off topic, so craze)

(I think we need to bring this back on track)

Howard walked back to the group with Michael, and asked if he could check Onora’s back. (edited)

(

)

(Oh boy)

Are you okay Michael? Edwynn asked ~~trying to stop the derailment.~~ (edited)

(❌

look even Jexus is in on the action)

(Too soon)

“Yeah, Howard says I’m fine.”

(Also did you guys hear about notre-dame?)

(No. But I’ve been there)

(Yeah)

(The roof caught fire today)

(Wait which eye was it his left or his right)

(Dang)

(I know it’s really sad, my grandparents went there for college)

(Left eye went byebye)

(From the text or from his perspective?)

(From his perspective his left eye is gone)

(So in text the right eye)

(Yes)

(YAYYYY)

20:03

(I’m so happy!)

(?)

(Ohh...Kay?)

(Sorry I’ve just been imagining it being his left eye from his perspective this whole time and I would cry myself to sleep tonight if I was wrong)

~~in a desperate attempt to get back on track~~ Edwynn asks the group.How soon do we leave? (edited)

(Idk but where’d attie go)

(Attie come back)

(Sorry I’m back)

20:05

(I was taking a shower)

“We leave soon. They will know we are here soon.”

(Onora should take a shower with Howard)

(subtle flirting)

"Smart."

She shrugged, as she didn’t know what was was to happen next. Onora gave a simple answer. “I’m not to sure.” (edited)

(VERY SUBTLE)

(Ok now answer Howard’s question)

20:07

(Not the shower one)

She nodded to Howard, her back started to hurt for whatever reason.

(He needs to see it)

Howard lifted up her shirt (ooooooooooooooooo) and gently unwrapped the bandages around her stomach. He winced. “The wound is inflamed. It doesn’t look infected, but you need to give it time to heal. Have you been taking the medicine?”

(This is about to come pg 14)

(Pg R)

(more like tv-ma)

(I know none of these ratings)

(Whatttt)

20:10

(They’re all sexual pretty much)

(ma means mature adult)

( just use U, PG, 12, 15, 18 like normal people)

Her bare skin was exposed, but covering up some parts of her was a small laced bra. Onora winced as he touched her inflamed wound, but didn’t want to answer the question. “No..” She said quietly.

(I mean in MURICA WE ARE THE SPECIAL ONES)

(ive never seen u, pg-12, or pg-15)

20:10

(and tv-ma is used all the time)

(No one said pg-15. It’s just 15. U is universal, PG is obviously parental guidance, 12-15-18 are ages)

(MURICA mboi)

(Wait that’s a good point do Underlanders wear bras?)

20:12

(What would they be made of?)

(Well I mean why not)

(Yes and spider silk stuff)

20:12

(The Underland ladies gotta keep the GIRLS in place during battle)

(oh you use a different ratin system since you're in not the america which is the home of the brave flexes muscles shaped like bald eagles, cheeseburgers, and the american flag as the national anthem plays)

Howard gently rubbed some ointment into the wound, which soothed the burning, and applied fresh bandages. He gave no comment about the medicine, just recommended for her to take some now.

Onora had looked guilty, wincing as he placed the bandages around her stomach and back. It hurt like hell. She obediently took it, as she sat back against a rock, head in palms.

20:15

(Ok is it just me? Or it’s it kinda hard to keep this server 13 and under)

(yes)

(We have curious minds okay)

Edwynn addresses the group. We need to leave. They know our location

(But you're a mod so it's your fault too)

(Agreed)

20:16

(Wait, I have authority to change it??????)

Jexus groaned but got to his feet. “I can fly, but I do not think I can take passengers.”

Excellent Replied Edwynn. Cass and I shall take Onora for you.

Jexus nodded, even that sending lightning bolts of pain through his forehead. “What of Ripred?”

Nike, can you take him? Edwynn asks

Onora nodded, trying to stand up clearly.

Ripred tilted his head. “ What of me? I am perfectly fine-“ Right before he fainted out of nowhere.

Nike nodded, as she fluttered her wings.

(Keep him fainted gtg dinner)

(at 8:20 pm?)

(I want some flirting)

(Between who?)

(me and ripred)

(O.O Edwynn and Onora)

(Wink wink)

(That works so perfectly)

(Rip And mikl best ship ever

(I CANT MAKE ANYMORE PEOPLE ON MY ACCOUNT)

Wakes up from fainting “Michael, I’ve been meaning to say this... I... love you”

(I think Sky and Onora are close in age long with Edwynn and Howard) (edited)

(AND I DONT REALLY WANNA MAKE ANOTHER ACCOUNT)

20:26

(Yeah)

(yes ONORA and EDWYNN what are you all doing)

(Okay and)

(I can pry modify the age slightly)

(Okay im editing the rules to change that you have to be twenty one)

(How old is Onora)

(18?)

(All children leave scarred and I don’t care if that wipes out almost everyone including me I’ve never been the same after the human comfort thing)

(Wake up Ripred)

20:30

(And get ur stupid memories back already)

(Bro I fainted chill)

20:30

(You’ll see)

(Onora threw a bolder at Ripred as she screamed. “GET UP”)

(Bro I lost an EYE)

(Maybe he just randomly does)

20:31

(Yea I’m not saying that Ripred has it worse now) (edited)

(Guys guys)

20:31

(I cracked my spine)

(AND I HAVE SCOLIOSIS YOU WANNA GO)

Everyone mounted up, and Smokeswirl told them to keep heading South

(Oh wait nvm)

(YEAH BRO LETS GO)

(I broke my finger when I was five)

(and i have a lil scar on my back)

Cass took off, soaring through the tunnels

Onora flew with Edwynn and Cass, watching the ground as they took off

(I kicked my cat by accident so I stabbed myself as a sacrifice to Baset)

It was a habit of Skys, he took the slide off again to clean it. He does it when hes nervous (Yall talkin about injuries now huh?)

Jexus tried take off, but lurched to the right, narrowly avoiding a sharp-looking rock

20:33

(Yeah our rps get so derailed)

(who am i on and with)

She slightly gasped as Jexus almost killed himself. Onora couldn’t bare to see him like this anymore.

(Man I just wanna rp normallyyy And thats a good question. Whos with who?)

He eventually managed to fly straight, but was soon feeling light-headed

(Cass has Edwynn, Onora, and can take one more)

( Jexus: Cass: - Edwynn - Onora - Gregor Demeter: - Smokeswirl - Michael - Sky Nike: - Ripred - Howard - Supplies )

(Yeah can we just rp normally? but with some flirting too)

(i dont know if anyone can carry more than jusr ripred)

(Mm But then where does he go)

(but it doesnt matter it doesnt have to be too realistic)

(Ripred went on diet)

20:36

(He now an un-thick boi)

20:37

(Stupid autocorrect ‘correcting’ thicc to thick)

Onora slowly curled up onto Cass, her hair covering her face as she slowly drifted off into oblivion.

( @Lenn are you there)

After travelling for a couple hours Jexus had begun to noticeably lag behind.

Cass called to him in the inaudible bat speak. Are you okay?

Onora woke up, watching Jexus before pointing something out. “Someone should carry Jexus.”

(%theres no way that’s gunna happen)

20:43

(He’s too thicc)

Let’s stop for the night. Edwynn suggested.

(SPicy scenes unlocked)

(No)

20:44

(No no no)

Onora nodded, yawning loudly as she saw Jexus tagging behind them. He was slow.

(Human comfort)

comfort

20:44

human

(Yes, Yes Yes Yeah)

(We don’t believe, what’s on, TV)

(Hey hey hey!)

(Because it’s what, we want, to see)

(I don’t know the rest)

(And what we want we know we can’t believe)

20:46

(We have all learnt, to kill, our dreams)

(BTRP)

20:46

(We need the spicy scenes)

Jexus coasted in to land, but overshot it and almost tripped over. He seemed dizzy, confused. (edited)

(

Image attachment

20:48

Demeter trying to carry Jexus)

She hopped off of Cassiopeia, landing softly on the rocks below. Onora walked up to Jexus, and studied him intently. “Are you alright?”

20:48

(LMAO)

Jexus turned in a circle. “What? Oh, yeah. I’m fine. I just need to rest.” he said, collapsing onto the floor.

Onora shook her head as she went to help her bond up. Begging to get emotional. “I’m sorry,” She whispered quietly. “It was all my fault..”

Jexus refused to get up. “No...” he said absentmindedly. “No, it was mine...” he continued, before drifting into oblivion.

(Idk how to respond)

(Just like cry or something until Edwynn comes to give you human comfort)

comfort

20:52

human

Onora softly cried. Placing her hands over her soft violet eyes as she began cripple.

(Ok Edwynn you’re up let’s make this scene spicy)

(Or other ppl) (edited)

(EDWYNN)

( @megan )

Edwynn walks over to Onora, sitting next to her on the cold stone. She wraps an arm around Onora hesitantly.

Her soft eyes ignored the visitor as she sunk lower to the ground.

(Is she cheating on Howard?)

(shut UP)

(Okay)

(never.

(Just eat this popcorn and watch)

(Okay)

It is not your fault. If anyone is to blame it is me, as I was close to him when it happened. I could have stopped the crusher. Edwynn admitted in a sad whisper to Onora.

(hands popcorn)

(WELL WHY DIDNT YOU)

She shook her head disapprovingly. “No, it was mine. I wasn’t there, when I had to be..” Onora said, her voice breaking as it trailed off.

(Cmon Edwynn dont leave us hanging)

Do not beat yourself up about it. I have a large scar from an attack that Cass could have saved me from. I do not blame her or hold her accountable for what happened just as Jexus does not blame you. She Replied, leaning her head against the stone wall

(“But I blame myself”)

(Besides he a gangsta now) (edited)

Onora didn’t know how to respond to that. The halflander tucked her long curly hair behind her ear, revealing her eyes and beautiful skin. “But I do..”

(Why would you lean your head against the wall and not her shoulder this is meant to be SPICY)

(It was a sad like head tilt back)

(CHNAGE IT TO SHOULDEEERRRR)

(Okay)

(SSSHHOOOOUULLDEEERRRRRR

21:06

)

(CHANEGGGG IT)

(YALL CANT COMPLAIN)

21:07

(I DONT SEE ANY OF YOURE CHARACTERS OVER HER DOING THIS)

I know how you feel. I know all too well...Edwynn trailed off, resting her head gently on Onoras shoulder.

(Howard tried but you called him a pervert)

(yeah cause mines FAINTED AND YOU HATE HIS AND THE OTHER ONES MAY BE DEAD)

21:07

(Wait rly)

(We’ll he was that night)

21:08

(GASP)

21:08

(YOU KNOW WHAT GET HOWARF IVER HERE)

(Fine threesome time)

(WE KUST FORM A LIVE TRIANGLE)

(Oh god I misread that)

(Yeah and Michael is 13)

(Hell yeah. Edwynn likes Howard. Howard likes Onora and Onora likes Edwynn)

She couldn’t Stand it. She knew things would be hard down here, so she couldn’t complain.

(Or the other way around

)

Howard stumbled ~~high as FU-~~ over to say hello. (edited)

(HELL yeah it’s official)

21:09

Onora’s violet eyes had looked at Howard, why the hell was he here?

(We want the love triangle like I said?)

Howard stared back, a small smile on his lips.

21:10

(Hey guys you know what I think we should do a love triangle)

(Ik, But Onora doesn’t know that)

21:10

(SKEJSKSKS THATS WHAT WE’VE BEEN SAYING)

21:11

Onora purses her lips together, trying to hide her smile herself. The truth was, she was very comfortable around these two. And she didn’t know why.

human

(Ok so who kisses first?)

(Uh idk) (edited)

(I kiss Howard)

21:12

(And then carry on)

(Hell Yeah let’s go bye you two)

(Cue ripred carrying Howard bridal style)

(Oh shoot, we’ve been discarded)

Ripred woke up and started straight up kissing Howard.

(Here comes the bride, here comes the bride.)

Howard liked it.

Well who wouldn’t?

(XD)

(The triangle has been dispersed)

(Well I guess it would be more of a slurp)

(No but in our little triangle what must happen)

(Wait no!) (I want the triangle back)

(Okay then you know what I’ll just shut the hell up)

21:15

Ripred fainted mid kiss and Howard went back to the two, acting as if nothing happens.

(‘Instructions unclear, kissed Ripred instead.’)

(Lol)

(Triangle goes like this: Howard likes Onora Onora likes Edwynn Edwynn likes Howard. Demeter likes Jexus Jexus likes Jexus) (edited)

(Jexus likes Jexus’ eye)

(We must make it official)

(Well he dead so he can go cry)

(Jexus just sits outside the triangle and laughs)

(Okay you know what just continue)

21:16

(I’ll just be quiet)

(Good finally)

(Are we good with the triangle I described)

(Ye)

(That means you’re gay for me

lol)

(Sure now let’s get some ~~kissing~~ spiciness going)

(No im pan)

21:17

(GET IT RIgHt)

(You’re pan for me

(Dam did you just assume her sexuality)

21:18

(notre-dam)

(I ASSUMED HER CHARACTERS SEXUALITY GET OFF MY CASE)

21:18

(Jk fam I love ya)

(Lmao)

21:18

(Love you too)

(<3)

21:19

(I love you all)

(<3)

(OK NOW GET BACK TO YHE RP)

(Even Ripred over there)

(shut up and do the ROLEPLAY)

Edwynn immediately perked up when Howard walked over. She sat up off Onora to greet him. How are you?

(Fine hold the popcorn)

Onora watched the two speak, as she slowly smiled. Her violet eyes began to get tired.

“Greetings, Edwynn, Onora.” Howard said,

21:20

(O can we all spoon?)

(Yeah)

(Bags middle spoon)

(Only is we can spoon on top of Jexus)

“Howard.” She said with a slight nod of her head.

(Jexus can be the super-spoon who encloses all of us)

(Yes)

He nods back at her, smiling. (edited)

Are you hungry? I was about to prepare food. Edwynn says to the group as she looks at Howard.

“Starving.” Onora said, standing up as the lighting showcased all the curves on her body.

“Oh yes. Very.” he replies, without taking his eyes off Onora.

Excellent! Edwynn exclaims, bending over to reach in the pack for the food basket.

(I think you missed the kind of hunger)

She gnawed ya her lip intently as Onora waited for the food. The halflander moved her hair out of her face quickly as she smelled the food. She could eat anything as of now.

Howard sat down next to Onora. He was so close, he could smell her hair. Coconutty.

(Oh yeah that’s just my shampoo)

(Where the hell does she get coconut shampoo)

Edwynn finishes rummaging around, and reveals the food pack. There is bread, cheese, and beef. She tells the group.

(I don’t know)

(BRO IM VEGAN WTH)

21:26

(Jk carry on)

(Bred)

“Could I have some beef and bread?” Onora asked, studying Edwynn quietly. She was very kind, by bringing delicacies with them on the mission. (edited)

”I’ll have whatever Onora’s having.” *Howard said, adding a ‘please’ as an afterthought.

(This isn’t a restaurant what the flip)

(be QUIET Ripred)

Sure! Edwynn said, pulling out a knife and slicing the bread and meat. She hands them each a large piece of bread and a chunk of meat.

(FINE)

(smushes popcorn in his face.)

21:29

“Mmmm. Delicious.” Howard says sensually.

Onora took it as she stuffed it into her mouth without a second thought. She humming as she ate the bread, smiling once in a while at the two. (edited)

(Why are you hummering?)

(Shoot)

“Well, I suppose we better get some rest. Michael and Demeter are taking first watch.” Howard says, standing up.

(Should I make the first move

))

(No I got this)

(Yes)

(Got it bro)

Howard smiled. “Sorry, but I always sleep shirtless.” he said, pulling his shirt off over his head.

Edwynn finishes off her bread and cheese, dusting her hands off. They are? Edwynn asks, surprised.

Onora nodded as she walked over to sleep under Jexus’s wing, as he was soft and warm. Hopefully her bond didn’t mind. She looked at Howard, bewildered. He was muscular, and handsome. What couldn’t this man be?

(Gay)

Well she thought of one thing—her lover.

(Well your WRONG)

(Get rekt Howard)

Howard wandered over to Onora. “Hey... I was just kind of wondering... if, you know... you wanted to...”

(Sleep)

Congratulations, @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes), you've fulfilled 17 prophecies!

(Together)

Her eyes widened, what was he about to say? Was she dreaming? Onora thought she was drooling so she wiped her mouth.

(She drowned herself in her drool and died the end) (edited)

(Jeez)

21:35

(So negative)

“Maybe like... sleep together?” Howard said. “I mean... not like... just kind of... you know...”

(She drowned herself in drool and Everyone died)

Edwynn gave a shirtless Howard a once over as he approached Onora. She pulls a blanket out of her pack and lays down next to Cass.

(No go next to Howard)

Howard glanced behind him. “Edwynn could come too.”

She blinked many times, looking at him like it was only the two. “Would I—-have..have to get undressed too?” Onora asked awkwardly.

(Yes)

What? Edwynn stands up and approaches Howard not hearing what he said.

Howard looked taken aback. “Only if you wanted to.”

(Okay that was pedophilic I’m sorry)

(It’s fine she’s 18)

21:37

(It’s just normal sexual harassment)

(I kinda want her tooooo) (edited)

(Then yes do it)

(Wtheck)

(We can all go to underwear)

(And bra you pervert)

(Bra is underwear you weirdo)

A heavy blush crossed Onora’s face as she looked at Edwynn and Howard. She wanted to, so she did. Slowly, she undressing herself to her bra and bandages, leaving her pants on—for now.

21:39

(undergarments)

(Yeah)

Howard looked at Edwynn. “I was just asking you wanted to sleep with us.”

(You know all of us are getting banned and I’m the one who should be stopping this) (edited)

(It’s not above 13+ tho)

(shut UP RIPRED)

(It’s pretty much...fine fair)

(Just enjoy the weird sex show)

(Lol)

Oh sure. She responds, laying her blanket down and kicking off her boots.

(I’m sicc and throwing up bc of this twisted rp)

A heavier blush crossed her face as Edwynn undressed.

(Bam edwynns straight in)

21:41

Howard couldn’t keep his eyes off Onora’s body.

21:41

he lay down between the two girls.

She caught Howard staring at her, and she had to ask. “What? Do I have something on me?” (edited)

“Huh? Oh, no.” Howard said, and averted his eyes.

Onora laid down next to Howard, afraid to snuggle up close to his warm body. She felt bad for shooing away his gaze. (edited)

(Just say bandages and run)

Edwynn relaxed as much as she could on the stone floor next to Howard. “Get it together.” She told herself.

Onora had eyes Edwynn as she smiled, unaware that she was closer to Howard.

(Ripred walks in, and lays down on the love triangle)

“Oooooh yeah”

(At this point I think we all just have crushes on all of the others)

(Like literally crushing them in an attempt to stop the madness)

(Yeah)

(“Now that’s a real crush” Ripred says)

And then he walked away and fainted and they pretended nothing happens to their now-mangled bodies.

Onora had shut her violet eyes snuggling closer into his warm body, pressing herself against him.

(And he made another run on sentence and he doesn’t care and help me)

Howard felt Onora snuggling closer and he wrapped his arms around her

(Awwwww)

(And squeezed her to death)

(am back oh my god y'all rp'ed so much)

(It’s all sexual love triangle rp)

(I'll be back)

Suddenly Howard reached over and pulled Edwynn into a hug too

(just need some clothes)

Onora had gently reached over HOWARD and gently pressed her lips to EDWYNN’s. In an attempt to make a move.

(No wolf we don’t need clothes that’s the point)

Edwynn didn’t know why he’d do that but she wasn’t complaining.

21:48

Onora kissed Edwynn and she was a bit taken aback, not sure what she should do.

(Howard got pissed and killed them both)

(Just wait, it about to get real good)

( @ whoever is in charge, can you make a rp channel for derailed crap like this? lol) (edited)

Onora had switched from Edwynn to Howard, pressing her soft and warm lips to his. She pulled Edwynn over to her side as they snuggled.

(Rp 18+)

(Yes can we actually do that?)

(We can have a rated r channel too if this love triangle gets serious)

Howard didn’t hesitate like Edwynn did. He returned the kiss, more powerful. His tongue slid into Onora’s mouth,p.

(Wait y’all wanna make a pm where we can move it to 18+)

21:51

(So we don’t get banned)

Sure

(Sure)

(oh my god whats going on what did I miss)

(A lot. Most of it derailed quick)

(Super sexual love stuff)

(

)

(oh my god)

21:57

(So we were in the cave after the battle, right?)

22:01

(woow everyone dies right when wolf arrives)

22:07

(wake up or i will say a swear word)

22:09

(inhale)

22:09

(DARN)

22:11

( @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes) @𝚊𝚝𝚖𝚘𝚜 @DrBracewell @megan @(moved accounts) Mikl Pickle )

(Are you guys sexually harassing each other in a private group chat now?)

(Yes. Yes we are)

(Now it’s a cliffhanger and I’m sad :()

(Noooo)

22:14

(We all went to bed)

(Y'all wanna rp tonight or nahh)

(You flippin liars)

22:15

(Wait no it’s still a cliffhanger)

22:15

(Dang it)

22:15

(I mean I can rp for a bit if you want)

(I would love to if enough folks are alive. but idk where we are)

(I mean let’s pretend only us two are awake right now?)

(okay, is this right after the battle like, after everyone goes to sleep)

(I mean the three are... snuggling in 18+ manners)

22:20

(Okay)

(are they gangbanging in public)

22:20

(sksksk)

(Sksksk lets just pretend like they are having their three sums out of view)

22:21

(And earshot) (edited)

(I think I'm gonna go to bed actually, it's gotten later than I thought)

(Okay then)

22:22

(Goodnight)

(gn, we can get back to business tomorrow

(I mean I guess it depends on their stamina and if they last all night but okay goodnight I’ll shut up now I’m sorry) (edited)

Ripred lied on the rock, in boredom and pain. He slowly opened his eyes, ~~waiting for Gregor.~~ (edited)

*The two were chatting, and Gregor saw him lying on the rock, so he went over ~~to pick up the roleplay~~ to talk about whats happened in the Underland while he was gone. (edited)

Ripred looked at Gregor, ~~realizing that he did not know how to do a strike through~~.

(Shush)

(Lol it’s ~~~~(word or phrase)~~~~)

11:35

(Double squiggly lines)

(Oof Im smart lol)

“What?”

"So what happened when I was in the Overland?"

“I honestly couldn’t tell you much... I’m having trouble remembering myself.”

"Yeah.. I ~~missed~~ forgot about that." Gregor replied. "What all do you remember?"

“I remember basic information... but not much. I remember almost nothing since first meeting you all.” Ripred said in despair. “ And from what I’ve heard, I was not the most favorable.”

"Not particularly" Gregor said "However you were a good trainer" (edited)

(Brb)

(Kk)

(Sorry my dad came by and the wants me to watch the game)

11:55

(It’s starting in five, so I can rp for five)

(Ok)

Ripred scoffed. “I’m sure I was. I’ve seen you fight Gregor, and it looks like it comes from natural skill.”

"Yeah.. its not something that I like to have though.."

“You don’t like to have warrior skills? Why would that be?”

"I dont like to fight.. Im not like the rest of the people on this trip.. I just want peace.." Gregor said, looking at his dagger. "Im not a fighter by choice.."

“So why do you? Why don’t you go back to the overland then?”

"All my friends are down here, and I thought we were at peace with the Gnawers." Gregor shook his head. "But it turns out people just ruined it again."

“I think... I think it was me. I’m sorry for any pain I may have caused you.”

"I dunno who it was and when we get back Im asking Luxa what happened."

(~~~squiggle~~~)

"I heard a little, and what I heard was that yall were pushed back"

“Yes, the crushers are ruthless. And dangerous in numbers. And Jexus ~~Became a GANGSTA~~ lost an eye to them.” (edited)

(Cutters?)

"Thats true." Gregor replied and looked at the rest of the party.

(Sorry)

12:05

(The...?)

(the beetles are crushers)

(Oh yeahhhh)

Sky woke slowly, and removed the mag, making sure the chamber was clear and started practicing maneuvers. He managed to find himself over by the heap of three people. ( @𝚊𝚝𝚖𝚘𝚜 ) Gregor looked back to Ripred ( @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes) ) (edited)

Onora had quietly sat down, tired of what had happened yesterday.

(Last night) (edited)

(TECHNICALLY YESTERDAY)

(To be more specific)

(XD) Sky holstered and started walking back to where he could lie down. He was still tired as he didnt sleep well.

(Yes, onora got no sleep)

(Howard Can upon him whispering. “HuMan ComFort....”)

human comfort

(Okay ill shut up now)

Onora slowly went to sleep upon Jexus, curled up in his soft wings.

(Yay she can sleep now)

(~~doesnt know what to do to start the rp~~) (edited)

(We need our baby Jexus)

(im here kiddos)

Ripred stabbed Jexus and whispered. “Human comfort.”

human comfort

12:24

Onora shook Jexus awake, checking on him to see if he was alright.

(Wait aren’t you mad at Jexus?)

(this human comfort thing has gotten so out of hand)

human comfort

(No?)

(nah dude he lost an eye you cant be mad at him)

(But pike ddint you get into a fight)

(Yeah)

(Okay fair) (edited)

Jexus awoke, blinking (or is it winking?) at Onora's face.

(I think blinking)

(Did he watch you guys “sleep” at night? That’s kinda creepy just saying)

Onora smiled as she waved to him, she examined his wounded eye.

No he was out cold

(No they went somewhere else.) (edited)

(back to the palace)

(Why)

(for like one night them came back)

(Sure)

(They’re probs gonna go tonight too)

(Also is protection a thing in the Underland)

(Yeah)

(Okay good)

(Well maybe)

(And Howard just carries some around with him cause no one can resist him)

(but how would it work?)

(No he’s Edwynn’s and Onora’s)

(What do you mean?)

(We’ve establishes that)

(I mean has evolution mangled them?)

(maybe they have like a morning after pill as a liquid or something)

(Well they need to take it)

(Yeah)

(actually no they dont, remember?)

(?)

(not you)

(Remember what)

(howard+onora+edwynn didnt need protection last night)

(Oh yeah)

12:30

(She tried)

Jexus slowly got to his feet. His entire body felt stiff and sore.

(But why not)

(they didnt get to third base)

(Oh okay)

(We must tho)

12:34

Onora tried to help him up as best as she could, without hurting him badly.

(Guys just make like a new chat for this and label it 18+)

(No were done talking bout it)

(no but we should have an 18+ channel)

(I don’t think Mikl allow it tho)

(Should I ping him for it? I mean like one day an eight year old is going to join and scream in not-innocence)

(Maybe? Idk, lets suggest it in the mod chat)

(Me or you or Dr?) This

(also you can set nsfw channels in discord that require you to say you're 18 as an extra precaution.)

(Well I mean like who here is eighteen and above?)

12:46

(Are you going to propose it or...? ) (edited)

(Or this thang?)

(I don’t mind either thangs)

15:29

(Y’all choose)

(Oof idk I kinda wanna continue the DMs but also want to rp with every one else D:)

(We can do both)

(Oh yeah let’s do that)

(I’m not good at initiating so if someone starts I’ll jump in)

(Okie)

(Gee golly)

(Wait are you putting the new chat into action?)

(No)

(Why?)

(Dogssgfsgfsg) (edited)

(What?)

Smokeswirl lay down, curling her tail around her but keeping her head up. She had passed out from exhaustion the moment they returned. Her muscles and wounds still ached. "So. We learned only one thing from that Crusher."

“And what is that?”Ripred’s voice chirped from the corner in a solemn tone.

"They aren't acting from free will. They're working with another species. The 'Prowlers.' Those must have been the odd, furred creatures Spark mentioned. Whatever they are." Smokeswirl grimaced.

“And how have we not seen these creatures before?”

"We've never seen Crushers before." Demeter said quietly.

Edwynn overhears Smokeswirl. You bring up a good point. She says. We need to be able to find the prowlers. (edited)

“So we continue heading into the Uncharted Lands.” Jexus said quietly.

"They'll likely be with the Crushers. We should continue on the same path." Smokeswirl nodded, agreeing with Jexus.

16:17

Demeter had only just woken up, not having realized that Jexus was awake. "Are you alright, by the way?"

“Are we going as of right now?Onora And Howard are out their somewhere, and we don’t know where.” Ripred mumbled, gnawing on a stone. (edited)

(Nah they’re here.)

(Oh okay)

16:18

(are they tired?)

(Very ;))

Smokeswirl twitched her whiskers. "I need to try and catch onto the scent of the rogue Gnawers who passed through here. They'll likely be the only Gnawers who passed through here, but it still may be difficult if the trail is old."

Jexus nodded slightly. “Then we should mount up. I’m feeling better, I can probably take a Onora now.”

Onora nodded, waiting until Jexus was ready.

"Are you sure? I know that we do not need our eyes, but you would be surprised as to how much you rely on them." Demeter said, turning to the group. "Most of the group will be walking. Is there any way we can carry him?"

Perfect. Replied Edwynn. Notify me if you need a break and Cass can take her.

Jexus got to his feet and roused the rest of the group.

Onora walked with Jexus over to the others. “Does anyone know where we’re going this time?”

Smokeswirl got to her feet. "I can find the scent after my bandages are replaced. A lot of them came loose last night in the battle."

Howard nodded, and grabbed the med kit.

Smokeswirl grimaced, hating to let the humans touch her.

comfort

(omgjsdjgdsgfjdjksfjdg)

(Yes more )

16:28

Ripred noticed Smokeswirls discomfort and decided to speak. “It is either this or infected wounds.” Ripred said, attempting to be reassuring.

human

Howard noticed her discomfort, and tried to be as light as possible as he cleaned her wounds and reapplied the bandages.

human

(Wow I didn’t even mean to)

(:O twinsies)

(

brotherhood)

Onora felt bad for Smokeswirl, she could see that she didn’t like being around these people that much.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Ripred asked, “Are we leaving soon or...?” (edited)

"I do not complain." She snapped, whipping her tail.

(I’ve noticed you use the word snapped a lot when roleplaying as smokeswirl)

“All done.” Howard said, packing up the medkit and boarding Nike.

(yeah, she snaps a lot)

(Oh snap)

Once the wounds were treated, Smokeswirl hobbled out of the cave. "Take your time following me. It'll take me a bit to find the trail."

(Snappity snap snap) (edited)

Nike was ready to take off, she nodded. The flier ascended in the air, waiting for the others.

Cass followed Nike into the air, looping around to catch up wit her.

Demeter also took to the air, circling and waiting for Smokeswirl.

Jexus waited for Onora to secure herself before taking off much less elegantly than the other fliers, but less wobbly than he had yesterday. (edited)

Smokeswirl slowly moved around the large tunnel, moving her pink nose along the ground, sniffing constantly. She went back and forth, furrowing her brow in concentration.

The halflander had tightens her legs around Jexus, patting him softly, telling him that she was ready to go.

After a few tedious minutes, she raised her head. At the far side of the tunnel, she had caught the very faint smell of Gnawer. "I have caught the scent." She called to the group.

“How many are their?” Ripred asked curiously.

"It's hard to tell. Their scents have muddled together."

Jexus nodded. “Lead the way.” he called, and fell in behind Nike. (edited)

(No but really, are there two or a hundred?)

(It's a small group)

(Oh so kill them all off

)

Nike had followed Smokeswirl, the leader of their V formation. She had watched around the tunnel as Nike flew , trying to conceal some of her wing beats.

(And how do they even know that there were a new speciesif the rest of them didn’t?)

(The Crusher mentioned them)

(Okay)

16:43

Ripred cleared his throat. “I apologize, I have trouble remembering, my memories are slowly fading. But I have heard that I am a good fighter?”

“The best!” Jexus said sarcastically as the fliers circled above Smokeswirl.

“Oh... okay then.”

“You’ll be fine.” Howard said. “Just get in there and beat up some gnawers.” (edited)

“I will try my best,” Ripred said quietly.

You are a legend, Edwynn replied trying to comfort the rat. I have hear much about your excellent fighting ability.

human

"There were not many. The scent was too weak for it to be more than ten." Smokeswirl called back.

“Then what are we waiting for?” Jexus asked impatiently.

"What do you mean?" Smokeswirl asked sharply.

Onora gingerly touched Jexus’s back. “We need to know where they’re located.”

Jexys exhaled shakily. “I do not think I am ready for a fight.” he confessed quietly to Onora.

“Why would that be? Rirped said in concern. (edited)

(QUIETLY to ONORA)

16:55

(Also he’s still shaky about using his one eye)

“Then don’t fight. You will not be hurt anymore than you already are.” She responded in a quiet tone.

Jexus nodded reluctantly. “I shall set you down next to Smokeswirl.” he said, coasting in to land. He took one last look at Onora. “Try not to die.” he said, only half-joking, before setting off back to their camp.

She nodded quietly, climbing off of Jexus. Onora walked next to Smokeswirl, hoping not to disturb her.

(Are we all landing?)

(No just Onora, she’s walking)

(Ookay)

(Ripred your not on Jexus btw)

16:59

(You’re with Nike)

(Okay)

Smokeswirl looked to Onora, not stopping her gait. "What?" She asked, tilting her head.

(Thanks)

“Nothing, just trying not to disturb you.” Onora said, walking near Smokeswirl.

Smokeswirl twitched her tail, looking forward again.

Jexus glanced back at the shrinking figure of Onora. It killed him to leave her alone in battle, but he knew he would hinder rather than help if a fight did arise.

The tunnel forked suddenly, and Smokeswirl hesitated before wordlessly moving to the left. The cave angled down sharply, taking them deep into the earth. The temperature began to drop considerably.

(Whoa Are we going under the Underland?)

(the under under under land)

(HOLY SH-)

Howard held his torch out in front of Nike, trying his best to see through the gloom.

The tunnel also grew narrower, forcing the Fliers closer together. It was uncomfortable, but they could still remain in the air.

human

“How far are we?” Ripred whispered quietly.

"I don't know. It's supposed to be fairly far away." Something about the tunnel made her want to speak quietly. It was eerie.

Ripred perked his ears up again. “ Has anyone noticed how someone seems be following us?”

"What?" Smokeswirl said louder, wheeling around.

“No no... It keeps on disappearing and it has been going on for a while.”

17:24

“I’m sure it’s nothing...”

"Everyone land." Smokeswirl ordered.

Shane falls into view

Demeter quickly landed.

(I swear to god you better not...)

(this is it ripred

(You know what I’m talking about Ewfawfa)

17:26

(Don’t you dare)

Smokeswirl crouched, baring her teeth and lashing her tail.

On his dead body, a bloody message

(DONT YOU DARE)

Don't trust Ripred. He did this. Don't make the same mistake I did.

(wAit whats going on)

(hahahhahahahahhahahahahah)

17:27

(get sHAnkEd)

(Smokeswirl proceeded to eat the entire body)

(lol)

(STOP)

17:27

(I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING)

(WHATS GOING ON)

(ITS A STORY. I CONTRIBUTED.)

17:28

(THATS HOW IT WORKS RIGHT)

(I SWEAR I WILL LIKC YOU EYEBALLS OUT OF YOUR SKULL AND BARRY THEM NEXT TO YOUR DEAD BODY)

(thas funy)

(BRO NONONO EVERYONE ALREADY HATES THEM)

17:29

(I HOPE YOU BURN)

17:30

“Did... did I do that too?” Ripred said quietly to himself and no one in particular, ashamed.

With his dying breath, Shane warbles, "It was Ripred. Please its too late for me. Save yourself.."

(DMS NOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS YOUNG MAN)

17:31

(Okay... back to the rp)

(Did that actually just happen)

(wait did that happen or)

(It... actually happens)

17:33

(I mean i can’t stop him)

Shane half crying, shudders and stops with a jerking motion. His eyes glaze over. "Not like my parents... Please not like them... I can see them..."

17:33

Silence

(if you'd like we can just say it didn't happen but also we can continue if you want sksks)

(Although I hate you soooo much right now Ewfawfa)

Howard rushed over to Shane’s unmoving body, but looked up sadly. “He’s gone.”

(Omg what did I miss?)

(hadeepa thats funny)

(I DONT KNOW KSKSKS)

Ripred averted everyone’s gaze. “I’m sorry... I didn’t think I was like this before I lost my memories...”

Smokeswirl wasted no time jumping onto Ripred's back, pinning him down, snapping her teeth in his face.

17:34

"What did you do!" She roared.

Onora had gasped as she saw the dead boy, he was far too gone. Onora had no putty, as she didn’t know what had happened to this boy, or who he was.

(no putty)

“I... I don’t know what I did.” Ripred said, averting his gaze from the rest of the group.

ENOUGH! Edwynn roared at the grappling rats. She drew her sword and held it to Smokeswirl’s throat. Get off him. She said turning the sword to Ripred. (edited)

Demeter froze, not sure of what to do.

17:36

Smokeswirl glared at Edwynn, sliding to the floor. Her teeth remained bared.

(I swear this is not over Ewfawfa... I’ll figure out a way)

(im sure)

(Die) (edited)

(if you guys stand for Ripred after this, you are biased)

(I’m already biased)

(o no

(I mean im not surprised if they lay my dead body next to his) (edited)

The noise of quiet sobbing is heard The source is a bat with blood on its bat (edited)

(Okay, I went through the rules... I can’t stop him)

“I don’t believe you.” Howard said to Ripred, drawing his own sword and placing it near the rats throat. “Start talking.”

(Demeter go make friends with sad bat)

(But next time I see you Ewfawfa, I will kill you((jk not rly but still)))

Her knees buckle and she collapses of grief, not even trying to hide it now

17:38

(OooOoOohOHh that a threat)

(Yes)

(i tellin on u)

(Use it in court)

(screenshotted)

(I mean I wasn’t going to delete it but okay then)

“This is enough!” Onora said, drawing her one golden dagger she had, it was broken, but still useable. She defended Ripred. Pointing the dagger at Howard quietly.

(ripred meanie weenie)

Demeter fluttered over to the strange bat, putting a wing around her. "What has happened?"

Ripred let out a few quiet sobs. “I have never seen a dead human body before... I have never killed anyone either. Please, I’m sorry, forgive me.”

comfort

"My..." "My bond..."

Edwynn saw the look on Onora’s face and gently slid her sword back into its sheath. She walks over to Smokeswirl and apologizes. I apologize for being threatening. We need to figure this out calmly and I took wrong actions.

Demeter looked at the bat with pity, patting her slightly with her wing. "Calm down, take a breath."

17:42

Smokeswirl just glared, looking back over to Ripred.

Ripred killed the bat and everyone else and then ran away.

As quickly as she had been found, her face morphed into anger. An anger that has never been seen before. An anger, a fury that would stop at nothing to get what it wanted. Her face contorted, going from beautiful to scorching in a matter of seconds. Her gaze landed on Ripred. "HOW COULD YOU JUST STAND THERE! WHY DID YOU DO THIS!

(It has to be done)

(Yes, but actually no)

17:43

(you see we could easily overpower you)

“How could I have done this?” Riped said defenselessly. “I was with the group the entire time!”

(NO RIPED WAS)

(YES I WAS WITH THE GROUP)

17:44

(HA)

(itSAYS RIPED)

(I swear I’m not usually like this why I’m doing this is a long story)

17:44

(YES HE DOES) (edited)

The bat instead of attacking, stumbles, and takes a hard fall for in her rush to kill Ripred, she had forgotten about her injured leg/ claw. It was mangled and it was obvious that it was a rat bite, for a good chunk of her leg/claw was gone. She cried out in pain, anger and frustration.

Demeter rushed over. "Please, calm down! We will figure this out!"

"No you won't! DID YOU LISTEN TO SHANE! NO! LOOK HOW HE IS NOW!" she gritted out.

17:50

(u guys are mean)

17:50

"He sacrifice himself for you" she spat as she broke down in sobs again.

“Where could I have sneaked away to kill him? I was unconscious for a few days and sleeping the rest! And I definitely would NEVER kill a hum4n.”

Howard approaches the bat calmly. “Shhh...” he said gently, walking slowly with one arm outstretched. “Everything will be okay... I promise...” Howard continued soothing the bat. ”Can I take a look at your leg?” (edited)

She says nothing (edited)

17:53

(thats a yes)

"Why don't you tell us what happened instead of babbling incoherently!" Smokeswirl growled at the Flier.

Howard spin round. “Not yet” he grunted to Smokeswirl. “Let me attend to her leg first.” (edited)

17:57

Howard took that for a yes, and slowly reached for the medkit. He took out what he needed, and turned to look at the bat’s torn leg. He winced. “How did this happen?” he asked, fishing for a vial within the medkit.

(You may wanna change your nickname to be only Shane (Nexus))

She recoils, as if insulted that he/she would actually speak. As if threatened, she flew up, even with her injured leg, and spread her wings. Her wings were different in one way. There size. Her wings fully unfurled large enough to cover the whole group. She screamed a high pitched cry, so loud even the ground vibrated "You are in no position to talk to me like that!" She started to land, but as she was doing so, her leg gave out once again, and this time she let herself be tended too. "First my bond is killed. Yet you still talk to me like this and let the murderer stand among st you. I fail to see why Shane give his life to save you in the first place." (edited)

18:00

(This happens right after smokswirl says her thing) (edited)

Howard gently approached her leg. “We want to help you, truly. But we cannot if you continue blaming us for something we had no part in.”

"Not you. A friend of Shane is a friend of mine. It is the rat."

(We need JEXUS)

(whoo dat) (edited)

Howard offered the flier a red vial. “Please, take this. It will numb the pain.”

18:02

(Sexy boi)

She takes it and downs it in one

(Howard’s abs cured everyone and they all left)

Howard reached for a cloth and began to wipe away the blood around the torn leg. “How did this happen?” he repeated.

“I guess it was... me.”

Onora had tucked her dagger away as she sat down. She wanted to help Howard but, she wasn’t good enough for that. The halflander decided to tend to her own wounds, wrapping fresh bandages as she discarded the old ones.

(yeah duh. idk how to make it more obvious) (edited)

(But it wasnnnttt)

18:04

(You know how I know?$

(no it actually was)

(CAUSE IM RIPRED)

(ill prove it somehow)

18:04

(oh yeah)

18:05

(IM DEAD SHANE)

(And I’ll prove my innocence)

"You must do this for me. While I tell you this, keep an eye on the rat. What I say next will decide his future." (edited)

18:06

(CUE STAR WARS MUSIC)

Ripred put his head down in shame. “I swear... it wasn’t...”

(Ripred feels no shame remember)

(Bro his personality reset)

(No emotion, nothing)

18:07

(Well u fake)

18:07

(Mystery solved)

18:07

(Thats not the real Ripred)

(It was like someone clicked a restart button on his brain)

18:07

(No it doesn’t work like...)

Congratulations, @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes), you've fulfilled 18 prophecies!

(Just go rp’ing)

(ur move guys)

Michael stared at the dead body and at Ripred with shock and horror.

Smokeswirl smacked Ripred in the head with her tail repeatedly. "Maybe this will jog your memory!"

Jexus suddenly landed shakily next to the group. “Are you all Okay? I saw you stop and...” he trailed off as he saw the dead boy and injured bat.

(lol u screwed boiiiiiiiiii) (edited)

18:13

(cause apparently Ripred be shanking people while nobody is looking) (edited)

Howard finished cleaning the bat’s leg and wrapped a tourniquet around it tightly. He shook his head. “There is a small chance of infection, but the bigger risk is nerve damage. You have ripped multiple tendons. You need to be operated on, urgently.*”

Riored fell to the ground, profusely bleeding right above his eyes. “No, please...” (edited)

(If this we’re actually happening Ripred would try to kill Smokeswirl)

(but Ripred reset his mind)

18:15

(it doesnt work like that right 3catsiME)

(I still dislike you)

(No he still has most of his memories, he’s only lost like a month’s worth)

(o no u dont)

18:16

(o well)

(No Michael, he’s slowly starting to lose all his memories, and his personality was the first thing to go)

(thas funy)

(Wdym fUnNy)

(That’s not a memory though)

She looked at Jexus, she quietly waved him over. “Its—chaotic..”

(sorry i mean foony)

(Shhh don’t question the logistics)

Smokeswirl paced angrily. "We don't have time for this!"

Jexus hopped over to Onora, relieved he did not have to interfere and jus5 watched the scenario play out.

(Jexus u lazy if you think like that)

18:18

(Shane just died u piece o- srry)

(SHUT UP MAN JEXUS HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH BULLSH-)

(no Shane more)

(THIS BAT LITERALLY JUST LOST HIS EYE)

(O YEAH SHANE JUST LOST HIS LIFE )

(Pfff Shane’s dead no one cares about him)

(pf its just an eye, o wait everybody HAS to care about that)

18:19

(i hope you know im joking)

(narrows eyes)

(you have one eye)

18:20

( jk i just ate the other one)

18:20

(you blind)

(I mean if you want to eat an eye Howard left the remains of Jexus’ a bit to the north)

(Yes sirree)

18:21

(Thank you)

(What the heck)

(I leave for an hour..)

(You missed a lot)

18:22

(1. Ewfawafa broke a rule but I let us slide) (edited)

(no mikl did)

18:23

(no Ewfawfa did)

(We are in dissaray again, and someone else is dead in the group like WTH??)

(Who the flip)

She looked at Jexus quietly. Onora needed to tell him something. “Hey Jexus,” She said quietly.

(oH YeaH)

(Brb)

Jexus turned his head towards his bond. “Yes?” he asked, sensing this was not something public.

She looked at him. “Do you think, you’ll be able to—-get better?”

(Grow an eye back?)

(eat pant?) (edited)

(Essential oils willl work don’t worry)

Smokeswirl didn't hear them talk. "Well? What are we doing? Should we just abandon Ripred here? Since he apparently killed someone."

(Always use organic solutions)

18:33

"Oh he did more than that," said Nexus quietly. (edited)

Jexus sighed. “I do not know. Howard says so, but it make take months for me to adjust to seeing out of on eye.” Jexus felt Onora lean her head against him. “But we must have hope. A very wise man once told me that hope is very hard to find, but you must find it anyway.”

“I killed no one, and perhaps it would be best if you left me here and die in battle.” Ripred snarled, fed up with their doubts.

(Good comeback)

(If you eat pant i will) (edited)

(Jk lol)

"Very well."

(Just let it slide and admit that I didn’t kill Shane yeah thanks) (edited)

"Would you like me to stated the crimes set against him," said Nexus in a taunting manner. (edited)

(Back)

(Is their even a justice system in the Underland?)

(trial)

(there happy?) (edited)

(with the council and stuff)

Onora nodded as she leaned against Jexus. She was about to fall asleep until she spotted someone. She looked at her hands quietly.

(Oh yeah once we go back we are having a trial and I’m going to sue you for slander once you lose)

(O.X who did she see?)

(Someone)

"We don't have time to take him to the Fount." Smokeswirl stated.

"Shane didnt caare for you to be honest. Not until he realized what Ripred was up too. He was with you guys the whole time on all your adventures. YOu never realized that Ripred was a spy for the gnawers, cutters, and crushers. He was A SPY. When Shane realized, he confronted Ripred, only to have gotten in a fight. Shane tried, so hard, but was fatally injured. He could have gotten medically helped and still lived but he chose to come here on my back and warn you as a last word. He is not who you think he is."

(why would a gnawer be a spy for the crushers)

(Omg that makes way more sense then it should)

(and didnt he assist in killing the gnawer king)

(I mean Michael makes a good point)

Howard stepped back, his face twisted. “Do you have any proof of this?”

(and also he helped break the code of claw)

(They were always a step ahead of Gregor)

(and he could've easily killed Luxa at any time)

Ripred stood there, shocked at these new accusations.

(You see when Ripreds mind reset he did these things.)

(Bro I could have killed most of you in your sleep)

Demeter looked down. "We do not have a justice system travelling with us. But you cannot say these things without any evidence!"

(Idk ur mind sux) (edited)

(NO I CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM EWFAWAFA STOP IT)

(don't worry. I think I can crack the case, Michael said, in a lawyer outfit)

(Oh yeah Michael to the rescue)

Nexus was shocked "You know Shane to be arrogant. You think he would willingly kill himself."

18:47

"If this is your reaction, then im sure it was all a waste."

"To damage someone's reputation, yes. He doesn't seem to like any of us."

“Please do not take offence.” Howard quickly backtracked. “None of us really knew Shane at all.”

"We don't even know you!" Shouted Smokeswirl. "Do you expect us to believe everything you say?"

(Whose side is Smokeswirl even on)

(her own XD)

(yeah ikr she was like beating Ripred earlier)

(mine)

Ripred fought the instinct to shove the bat to the wall and to kill her, but instead watched her arrogant smile. (edited)

(no way)

Howard gestured towards Smokeswirl. “She makes a valid point. We can not afford to blindly accept everything you say.”

(no way)

(she's mad ripred is being annoying but also thinks the bat is whiny)

(BRO HE DOESNT FIGHT NO MORE I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE MIND RESET)

(no way)

18:50

(but she likes me)

"We all see taht instinct in Ripred to kill me right k=now. How do you know that Ripred did not kill Shane when he accused him of these things."

(Bro He thought)

Sky drew, knowing that this is turning into a heated situation. He wanted to be able to defend himself

"Look at him."

“But you have no hard proof” Howard replied, trying to keep everyone sane and peaceful.

"Yes you are right."

"That's true. Tell us what you know besides hypotheticals."

“Because I wouldn’t kill a person, ever. Perhaps I used too, but I doubt even the old me would savagely murder a random human.”

comfort

"I suppose my bond has died for no reason other than to ruin your reputation"

(No the time vr Ripred)

"It was all a hoax."

18:52

"I made up an elaborate story just to see you scared like this."

(lol)

(How do we even know that you two were bonded?)

"Im so happy."

(Wait is this actually happening)

"Give us evidence and we might give you a chance." (edited)

"Right, Flier, your words mean nothing." Smokeswirl said, baring her teeth in annoyance.

too late she mentally had already killed herself (edited)

18:54

Nexus bowed "And yours means so much."

Ripred finally spoke up. “Are we going to fight the crushers or listen to this,” Ripred gritted his teeth’ “arrogant, scoundrel of a bat.”

"We're not trying to prove that one of your friends is a murderer."

"We have a mission. And your friend has nothing to do with it." Smokeswirl growled.

Howard felt his temper rising at the arrogance this flier was showing. “If you have no proof, then there is nothing we can do. And as Smokeswirl said, we have a mission.”

"Shut up, Ripred, you likely do not even remember this conversation." Smokeswirl said to Ripred.

(wait who did smokeswirl say the thing about the friend having nothing to do with the missio n to)

(Nexus)

Onora didn’t want to get caught up in this fighting, of which she hated. She buried herself inside of Jexus’s wing.

(Shane doesn't have anything to do with the mission right) (edited)

(ok)

(Dammit when I typed Nexus it autocorrected to Jexus because I type that so much)

"Ripred you are the one to be talking."

Congratulations, @Ewfawfa (Nexus/Coilthroat/Chloe), you've fulfilled 7 prophecies!

"You dont even know what a rat is!"

18:57

"Or a bat!'

(He isn’t that far gone)

18:57

(Yet)

(whaddya mean yet)

(Idk if he isn’t cured I guess he becomes a blank slate that forgets how to walk) (edited)

Howard had almost reached his limit. “We have told you our position on this. You have done nothing but insult us and our companions since you arrived.” Hiward turned to address his friends. “We have a mission, and I recommend we continue in with it.”

"YOUR PATHETIC MIND CANT EVEN FATHOM THE FACTS OF THE INCONSPICUOUS SANDWICH MUCH LESS UNDERSTAND HIM. I AM HERE BECAUSE MY BOND DIED AND YOU GUYS DONT CARE. LET THE MURDERER WALK."

(how tf do we even cure him then)

(I’ll find a way to tell y’all)

Smokeswirl looked to Howard and nodded. "Finally, something useful has been said. We have wasted an hour."

(Yay can Ripred go now)

(I think Smokeswirl should hit him on the head again. Not to help him regain his memories, just for fun.)

(Okay go at it)

" RIPRED YOU ARE AN INSULT TO YOUR KIND, A BLASPHEMOUS MISTAKE IN REGALIA HISTORY, AND DESERVE TO BE ERADICATED IN THE MOST TORTUOS WAY. YOU KILLED SHANE!!!!!!!!"

(smokeswirl hit him on the head so hard he died)

“No you”

19:00

(Instant death)

(no)

19:01

(nexus eat himself)

(That’s such a flex now they can’t ‘no u’ you back) (edited)

(You see now Nexus is gone and probably is finding a rock to hide under from that 10/10 comeback) (edited)

Demeter winced, the Flier's shrieks hurting her ears.

"ALL GNAWERS HATE THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND WATCH, SOON HE WILL KILL YOU ALL."

“Let us go.” Howard said, mounting Nike.

“Yes,” Ripred said solemnly.

" IF YOU DIDNT KILL SHANE ATTACK ME THEN."

“Ignore her,” Jexus whispered anxiously to Ripred. (edited)

"RIPRED YOU ARE A FAILURE. YOU HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD LIES. YOU ARE NO RAGER. A TRUE ONE WOULD FIGHT ME NOW."

"Yes, I despise everyone I know. Let's go." Smokeswirl growled, turning and walking forward, heading down the tunnel path.

Congratulations, @Lenn, you've fulfilled 17 prophecies!

Ripred, for the first time, understood why he used to kill or threaten arrogant people like him.

19:04

(Ya congrats!)

Everyone followed Smokeswirl into the tunnel, leaving Nexus screaming behind them.

""Shane and I were there at the Garden of Hesperides. I saw your family drown. Well you deserved it! And I bet they did too."

(Holy crap)

(That was like 20 years ago that how old Shane is)

(oh snap)

19:06

(Wasn't it like 5 years ago?)

"I MAY HAVE EVEN LAUGHED!'

(smokeswirl wasn't alive then sksksk)

(boo yah)

(wait when did that happen)

Jexus spun round. “Okay, now you can kill her.”

Michael gasped at what Nexus had said. (edited)

"Come at me bro."

Ripred, unable to help himself finally showed his claws. He pressed the cold, sharp claws against his neck. “Now listen here. You stop telling these lies or I will end you right here, right now.”

(Ewfawfa If you fight Ripred he will win)

(I think he knows that)

Smokeswirl stopped when Nexus spoke, hair standing on end. She gnashed her teeth.

"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. YOU WERE SO TINY. I SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU THEN. YOUR WORTHLESS PARENTS WERENT EVEN ABLE TO SAVE YOU. THEY SCREAMED LIKE LITTLE GIRLS. BUT I SUPPOSE YOU DONT KNOW WHO THOSEARE EITHER." (edited)

(Pretty sure ripreds parents were dead by then but okay)

(Whoop back)

(yeah it was his mate and his pups that died)

( i know)

19:10

"RIPRED YOU ARE WEAK. FIGHT ME AND SHOW ME HOW STRONG YOU REALLY ARE. OR ARE YOU ACTUALLY A NIBBLER IN DISGUISE."

(i think smokeswirl might have been a baby when that happened lol)

Onora had followed Jexus, ignoring the crazy bat behind them. She just wanted to throw a rock at this hell hole.

(Ripred just kill her already jeez)

Ripred pressed it even harder, drawing blood, only to let go before slashing his claws across one of her eyes. (edited)

Smokeswirl watched, not stopping Ripred. She was close to attacking too.

(OH MY GOODNESS)

Ripred, scared of killing her, punched her so hard that she flew back 10 feet.

19:13

(Idk I don’t want to kill her help me out here)

(I JUST BIT INTO SOME COOKIE DOUGH AND I THINK A PART OF MY TOOTH CAME OUT)

(Rats can’t punch you silly goose)

(Shhhh)

(GUYS IM NOT JOKING)

(CALL 911)

(I'M REALLY WORRIED IDK WHAT HAPPENED)

19:14

(OK)

19:14

(lol but seriously though im confused)

(Ask your mom? Idk what to do)

Nexus slipped out without a word. "My orders have been fulfilled. The conquest may begin. She rose up and screamed. Instantly hordes of crushers came and pounced upon the motley crew while Nexus flew away."

(wh)

19:14

(OH SHI)

(thats many words)

(HOLY SH-)

(hahahahaAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA)

(GUYS GOGOGOGOOGO)

(YOU DIDNT SEE TAHT COMING)

19:15

(HAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA) (edited)

(i did cause you told me)

(oh yeah)

Ripred looked above the oncoming hundreds of crushers and tripped backwards.

(lol u fool)

(Dammit Ripred why didn’t you kill her when you had the chance.)

(I’m sorry)

(ur all trash)

"RUN!" Screamed Smokeswirl. "We can't win this!" - Demeter screamed in shock, immediately launching into action. She scooped up Michael and Smokeswirl on her back.

(rude)

(too be realistic can one of you get injured)

19:16

(not major)

19:16

(like Jexus' eye thing)

(I voulenteer as tribute)

(Smokeswirl is already pretty badly hurt but Demeter can take something)

(THAT WAS SO MAJOR)

(nooo) (edited)

(HE LIKE CANT FLY PROPERLY NOW)

(not demeter ;()

19:17

(i like demeter)

(thas foony)

Onora’s eyes became wide as she began to run, her legs couldn’t take her very far. Nike had swooped down and through Howard on her back, Ripred too.

19:17

(We need another two ppl to bond)

19:17

(And I know just who

)

(i ship howard and nike to bond)

Jexus launched himself into the air, following Demeter.

(YOU MEANIE WHAT ABOUT ONORA)

(Now I dunno what happened but Ima try to go from here) "Go!" Loud CRACKS started sounding out.

Ripred simply stayed on the ground, stunned at the scene, and shielded herself as they started to attack Ripred, before another rat came by and started attacking the crushers. “ Run! She warned to Riored, and he started to run away.

(no way)

(Dude, Nike has you)

(Nike has You you just said)

As Demeter rocketed away with Michael and Smokeswirl, a beetle grabbed her wing. The membrane tore painfully, and she shrieked, but forced herself to keep flying. The cut grew wider, but she wrenched herself free.

(Oh I misread that)

(Lol)

Jexus actually waited patiently for Onora to jump on before launching off and following Demeter.

As she was slowly becoming overpowered: a familiar face swooped it and started hacking at the crushers: Genor.

"Demeter, are you okay? Can you fly?"

19:19

(NO WAY WHAT THE)

(Lol get rekt)

(WHAT THE FU-)

(NOOOO)

19:19

(NOT REAL)

(HOLY HECKING CRABCAKES)

(GENOR DIED)

19:19

(NAH UH)

Still on the ground, Gregor and Sky covered the others escaping.

(psych im not surprised he told me that too)

(IT SAYS IN RULE BOOK NOBODY CAN ACTS AS DEAD CHARACTERS)

19:20

(GENOR WAS DEAD) (edited)

(Na cmon don’t do this)

19:20

(Genor’s dead)

Genor was slicing through the crushers with ease. “Guys, help me out here!”

(everyone is spoiling everything)

(You’ll see)

(dood stop)

19:21

(genor and shane are dead)

19:21

(the end)

(Omg Genor is actually physical embodiment of Ripreds memories guys I figured it out)

"WHAT THE HELL?" Screamed Demeter, beating her wings harder. She wanted to turn around and help Genor, but she was dedicated to getting her passengers away and to safety. They couldn't win.

(mikl how is this fair)

Genor and the new-found rat started fighting back to back as a synchronized team.

(just see, he told me whats going on)

(Yeah)

(Was I right?)

19:22

(I feel I was right)

Onora had hopped onto Jexus, putting pressure on a fresh wound. It was small. She cleaned it with peroxide, and fixed it up. Her mouth dropped open, it was, GENOR?!

Michael knew Demeter would never turn back, so he did what he knew what he had to. Michael the Overlander leaped.

(and died)

(The end)

19:22

(Guys help them out he’s gonna diediedie)

Jexus hovered mid-air, uncertain

He ran to Genor, drew his sword and started attacking the crushers, with the same feeling of everything slowing down, which made it way easier to fight. (edited)

(Fill me in on what I missed. Or throw me in somehow)

(a PLEASE would be nice)

(Genors alive)

(WTH)

(H GuYs WhAf AbOuT mE?)

(wait really)

"Michael, no!" Demeter shouted. She went to turn around, and Smokeswirl screamed in her ear. "Get him out of there!"

(hopefully demeter wasnt too high up)

"Something very wrong is going on here!" The Gnawer shouted.

(boi)

Jexus glanced at Onora, and swooped down to land next to the three ragers.

(You can join in, there is a fight with the crushers, feel free to jump in and start killing.)

(there are so many crushers)

19:24

(there is no logical way you can survive this)

(Shut up)

19:24

(You did this and we will live)

( i know bacuse i masterminded the whole thing)

"Genor!' he said, inbetween cuts. A crusher chomped on his leg while he was distracted and Michael collapsed onto the ground.

(Yeah we don’t listen to traitors)

(i mean you could run and survive)

19:25

(ok nvm mikl got what i am saying)

Edwynn and Cass dove for an injured Michael, plucking him from the fight and moving him to saftey.

Ripred went to Michael and unwillingly started helping him by killing some of the crushers.

(You can’t force us to die)

Onora felt as if she had to help. She kept off of Jexus as she landed on the ground. It was obvious, she knew where to go. With her dagger she sliced through a Crusher, one ripped through her shirt, she tried to kick it away.

(No leave him on the ground pleaseeeeeee)

(wow ok thanks)

(Hahaha Onora’s gunna fight shirtless all the boys are gunna be so distracted.)

(what is wrong with you lmao)

19:27

"Genor," he said weakly.

19:27

(Michael died.)

Demeter rushed in and took her usual spot in a battle: Soaring around the scene and helping out anyone in trouble. Smokeswirl stayed on her back, unable to fight.

Jexus grunted, and launched himself towards Michael.

Genor realized he was slowly losing, even with the new rat by his side, and quickly retreated. “Michael!” Genor yelled. “I have seen you fight, we need you down here with us!”

(i think cass has already grabbed me) (edited)

(I just plopped ya out of danger for a sec)

(Doesn’t stop me from launching myself towards you)

(oh ok)

19:28

(just threw me away from the crushers)

(Boom Jexus And Cass collide and destroy the entire battlefield)

(BIG MAMA)

Edwynn, realizing she was needed on the ground, flips off of Cass and lands squarely in front of Genor, running her sword through the crusher in front of him. Pick them off! She yelled to her bond and the other fliers.

(uh hi my ear just burst I'll be back)

(nice)

19:30

(wait where am I right now)

(Cass I think)

(ok thanks)

Just as Ripred was slowly being overtaken with the excessive amount of crushers, he finally started to attack them more, until he started raging and was killing them by then tens. (edited)

(I just moved you to the side away from the action. You can run back in)

(Okay thanks.) (edited)

(Pls run back in)

(Do a bada$$ jump off a crusher or something for your re entry)

(Yeah)

Demeter rushed down and picked Genor up onto her back. She intended to drop him back in in a second, she just needed to know. "Genor! Is it really you?" - Smokeswirl looked at him. "You have a lot of explaining to do!"

One of the crushers has cut her leg, and tossing her to the ground. She limped to get up. Reaching up into the air, her hand was out. No—-she needed her foot in the air. She gasped, “Jexus!” She yelled loudly, stepping in a small crusher. She lifted her foot into the air, hoping he got what she meant.

Michael picked himself up from the ground and tried to run over to Genor but failed. He fell on his face and a crusher was running towards him. "Pick me up!" He called out desperately. "Please! Pick me up!"

Genor looked at them in surprise. “Yes, it really is me! I’ll tell you everything in a second if you let me continue fighting.”

Cass swooped down and grabbed Michael the only way she could at the time; by his ankles, and hauled him into the air.

"Thank you," he said. "Can we go towards some crushers? I can fight but I don't think I can stand for too long."

Demeter dropped Genor lightly, and went to grab Michael, but swerved when Cass did. She collided into a Crusher, and her chest caught in its huge pincers.

Ripred was easily killing them before he started to cough and wheeze again, intensely in the middle of battle.

(Aw come on)

19:35

"And we can start there!" he said, pointing at Demeter.

Genor screamed. “Someone pick up Ripred, he can’t fight!”

Jexus heard her call, and turned towards her. With a sigh, he dived towards her. He pulled out of the dive just before he hit Onora, and pulled her into the air - or so he thought. In reality, his singular eye confused him. He pulled out of the dive too late, knocking Onora to the ground and hitting it himself a few seconds later. He barely had time to cover Onora with his body before the Crushers swarmed them, biting, scratching, clawing.

Cass turned her head toward Michael who was dangling from her claws. Are you familiar with air combat? She asked, tossing him up onto her back. (edited)

Demeter screamed as the Crusher and her fell. It would bite down in a second.

"I can try!"

Genor rushed over to Jexus and immediately helped him up and started hacking through the Crushers.

(Na leave me for a sec)

(Okay so he let him die)

19:37

(Kool kool)

(Also there’s like a hundred Crushers swarming us, it’s not just a couple) (edited)

(I know, that’s why I came over to help you.)

Nexus who was on a perch, decided it was time to strike and caught Ripred on the back making him stumble. Then she flew away again, this time for good.

(if demeter dies i stg)

(But have fun)

Hold on with you legs, but not too tightly. I will not let you fall. Cass instructed, barrel rolling into battle. They noticed Jexus on the ground and flew to him.

(im using your word)

(yo ripred you no invincible)

(Wow payback)

(Nexus can go die) (edited)

She gasped for air, trying to escape from his wings. “GET THE HELL AWAY!” Onora began lashing out, Crushers being flung left and right. The ring around them grew larger. One grabbed her arm and dragged her arm into the crowd.

(against a hundred crushers)

"What about Demeter?" He said frantically. (edited)

(Yeah Ripreds dying Someone help him!)

(Guys I have to leave to watch the sunset, I'll message as much as i can but my messages will slow down)

(Please)

“No!” Jexus screamed, launching himself after the cutter that had took Onora. He took its head off with one bite, the tangy purple blood splashing into his mouth.

Smokeswirl clung to Demeter as they fell with the Crusher.

But more kept swarming over them.

Cass turned to spot Demeter as she realized Genor slashing his way to Jexus. The pair dove for Demeter.

Michael drove the blade through the crusher's body. The first time he'd ever killed one.

Ripred was slowly attempting his pathetic retreat, unable to fight for more than a few seconds with being thrown into a coughing fit.

More cracks rang out. Eventually they ceased. "No!" Sky yelled before throwing the pistol. At this point he was defenceless, so he began to run.

(lol ripred i will bring you to ur knees)

(Sm1 help me)

*On the ground Edwynn saw her bond rocket by with Michael in tow. As she turned her attention back to the battle she spotted Ripred struggling off to her right. She sprinted for him, jumping on the backs of crushers. After reaching him she turned 180 degrees and stood to defend him. (edited)

She gave out a bloodcurdling cry of pain, blood dripping out of her arm greatly. Onora couldn’t fight, her dagger shattered. “Fly! Flee!” She yelled to Jexus.

19:41

(WHERE THE HELL IS HOWARD)

(He dead)

(Ded)

(Watching lol)

More crushers swarmed over, all echoing the same cry Nexus had given earlier

19:42

But something was wrong

(Wait Michael you helped Demeter right)

Genor rushed over to Ripred, helping him ~~BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE CARED ENOUGH~~ fight, surprised that he couldn’t fight.

(I helped ya @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes) )

In the group, there was also a mix of gnawers and cutters, trampling each other in their haste to kill the group

Jexus caught Onora’s eye, and the battle seemed to slow down around them. “Not without you. Never without you.” he said simply. With a sudden roar, he opened his wings wide, knocking away the crushers swarming them.

(Oh okay ty Megan)

(Np fam)

Genor ran over to the swarm and attempted to take them on with the white rat by his side. (edited)

19:44

(Gregor help us pls)

Cass and Michael, after freeing Demeter stayed near to defend her.

(The four Ragers)

(Ripred gregor michael and who else?)

Demeter twisted in the air, free falling with Smokeswirl for a second. But she righted herself, and flew to Ripred. She grabbed his shoulders with her claws, lifting him in the air. She couldn't carry him far, nearly dropping him every few feet, but she got him to safety.

(yes @Lenn )

(Idk Genor?)

Onora had tears streaming from her eyes. She tried to stand up but a Crusher has caught her leg. The halflander kicked it away as she took Jexus’s claw. “Fly now!”

Jexus hesitated for just a moment, but launched himself into the air, almost wrenching Onora’s arm out of its socket.

(I mean Genor is a rager)

(woah)

Edwynn, after watching Demeter tow Ripred away, ran to Onora and Jexus. She sliced the crusher around Onora’s legs cleanly in two. GET UP! She bellowed at Onora. Signaling for Cass to swoop in and grab them.

(and wdym michael isnt a rager ;))

(We all know he his shut up)

(aw)

(who is fighting?) (edited)

Onora winced in pain as her arm was yanked. Panting hard, she rolled atop of Jexus. Searching for Howard and Nike. “Jexus keep flying and don’t stop!”

19:49

Nike carried Howard she signaled the rest of them to follow her.

Jexus nodded. “Everyone needs to retreat. They just keep coming.”

Cass swooped down and picked up Edwynn, while still carrying Michael. She sharply turned to follow Nike.

Genor slowly nodded and started running away on top of the glimmering of white fur ball of a Gnawer.

(Hahaha is that his bond)

(ripred isnt white)

(No not him)

(oh)

(OH)

Gregor and Sky dipped very quickly. (WaIt A mInUtE

(OH)

Demeter grabbed Michael and retreated with him and Smokeswirl

She nodded, trying to look for the rest of them. Onora pain hit her hard, the blood flooding onto Jexus.

(WHAT THE - WHO IS SHREDDER)

Genor called out to the rest of them. “Where are we going?”

19:53

(Who Genor is riding on)

(WHAT THE ACTUAL - Genor should be dead this is my final say on this.) (edited)

(I’ll tell you)

(genor is dead)

(In five brb going to go eat)

(He better die if he’s not dead)

(its not fair and against the rules)

19:54

(tahts too far)

(No ive conversed with Michael on this)

19:54

(It’s okay)

(to be fair they never actually said he was dead)

Congratulations, @(moved accounts) Mikl Pickle, you've fulfilled 18 prophecies!

(Pls I’ll eat then he’ll tell you the whole story)

The group headed southward, flying as fast as they could for hours before Jexus called for them to stop.

(oh yeah)

19:55

(we dont even know how deep the wound is, he couldve just been being overdramatic)

(IT WAS IMPLIED WHEN HE, YOU KNOW, GOT SPLIT IN TWO)

Yet once again to meet them, standing in the shadows was a gnawer

19:55

(yeah exactly)

(No shut up go away)

(ok then)

(Can someone get Sky and Gregor plz?)

(bye guys)

(actually he just got a scratch)

(Pretend they are with me @Logged off )

(Also cleavers already a character that died)

(Kk)

Nike had stop abruptly. Diving down to a stable place where it was safe to land.

19:57

(Oof that was messed up)

(wait what)

The fliers all landed on a small ledge, and everyone jumped off.

(how)

19:58

(how is cleaver dead)

(There was a gnawer in the books called cleaver who died)

Cass followed Nike to the landing spot with Edwynn, Sky and Gregor in tow.

Congratulations, @megan, you've fulfilled 14 prophecies!

(He was eaten by the mites that ate Pandora)

(cleaver wasnt with them)

(Ripred hid under cleavers skeleton when the mites attacked him)

(oh yeah)

20:00

(you're right)

(Code If claw bitches time to reread)

(Yeet)

(thats why i remember his name)

Onora rolled off of Jexus, soaked in blood. The wound was open, with little black bugs inside. She had cried out in pain.

(mikl said its ok to be cleaver

(But he’s DEAD)

(nvm hes dead)

(shoot)

(i didnt remember who he was)

(alright)

(name him something else)

(ill just have a different name0

Howard slipped off Nike, but everyone was so injured he didn’t know where to start.

Demeter collapsed on the ground. Her wing membrane was torn, and she had a large V shaped cut on her chest from where the Crusher had grabbed her. Smokeswirl fell off, mostly uninjured as she had been on Demeter the entire flight.

(my name is Coilthroat)

Cass, Edwynn, Gregor and Sky looked unharmed, luckily.

(Bada$$ @Ewfawfa (Nexus/Coilthroat/Chloe) )

Howard glanced over to Edwynn. “Can you take a look at Jexus and Onora, I’ll take Demeter?”

Michael couldn't stand after the injury on his leg.

Edwynn grabbed a medical pack and walked over to Onora and Jexus. Where are your injuries? she asked the pair.

She wriggled in a pain. The red blood spilled on the rocks below her, soon she would blackout from the rocks below. “Look at Jexus—first.” (edited)

Coilthroat watched from a distance behind a rock smirking

Jexus just moaned. His entire back was covered in scratches and cuts, some very deep. His makeshift eyepatch was also soaked in blood.

(this aint over yet)

Howard rushed over to Demeter, and poured a red liquid down her throat.

Demeter shifted, blood dripping from her chest. "Michael needs help.... more... His leg..."

Howard glanced over to Michael. There were so many injured, all in need of urgent attention. He felt like crying.

"I'm fine, help someone else first."

(No bby don’t cry)

Edwynn replaces Jexus’ eyepatch with a clean dressing and anoints the smaller wounds on his back. I will have to sew some of them up. Drink this to numb the pain while I attend to Onora.

“No, I’ll do you first.” Howard decided, cleaning and sowing the wound in her chest, before deciding that the wing membrane could wait.

Edwynn turns to Onora, and places dressing on her wounded arm.

Jexus obediently swallowed the vial.

Demeter passed out on her back from the medicine, pain, and exhaustion.

“N-no. I can tend to myself, go help M~Michael.” Onora said, sitting up as she reached for the gauze and bandages.

Howard turned to Michael. “Let me see your leg.”

"Go help Onora."

Howard groaned inwardly. Why did everyone have to be so heroic?

20:11

“I have to attend to someone, and both of you telling me to check on the other one is not going to help. Now lie down and drink this.” Howard told Michael.

(Btw I’m bacc feel free to ask my why I didn’t bleed out)

"I treated my own leg when it was lost. I will see what I can do for Michael, you get Onora." Smokeswirl said.

No. Let me wrap it. Edwynn insisted, finishing attending to Onora. Do you have any other injuries you haven’t told me about? She asks, raising an eyebrow.

She dabbed the gauze on her arm, wrapping her arm in a layer of it. The halflander had them wrapped bandages around that. Her leg was—-much worse.

(youre competing for me)

(Shoot I type to slow)

(smokeswirl be like: my leg fell off so I'm basically a doctor)

(Are you okay)

She shook her head. “Not that I know of.”

(Lol)

“Edwynn has Onora covered. Lie back, I said!” Howard continued, taking a sharp intake of breath when he saw the wound.

20:13

Jexus was half-unconscious, but managed to murmur: “her leg.”

(Does she even have a leg anymore)

"Good. Then, Genor, why don't you explain yourself?" Smokeswirl asked.

(Probably need to get Howard in on this one Edwynn let’s swap over)

Edwynn shouted over to Michael. Lay down I will attend to you momentarily

"Yeah," he said, suddenly mad at Genor.

20:13

He laid down.

Her face was worried. Onora had looked at Jexus, he didn’t look to well. She reach out and gingerly took his claw in her hand.

Genor, who was sitting in the corner perked up. “No, I think you should finish treating your injuries first.” (edited)

“I’m just... going to...” Jexus began, before drifting into oblivion.

Edwynn told Howard as they passed to switch patients Her arm is fixed and Jexus has several wounds that need sewing.

(dont cough into your hand) (edited)

(Onora Just needs her leg attended too. She can get Jexus.)

(What leg?)

Howard had come to check on Onora, but his eyes widened when he saw her leg. He cursed under his breath. “There is no way I have the supplies to fix this here.”

"Listen, Genor, some odd things have happened today. I think we need to know what's going on. You should be dead." Smokeswirl said harshly.

“I can clean it, but too much of the flesh is gone to sow it.”

(#messedupleggang)

“But if we do not close it, it will get infected.”

“Fix Jexus up then!” Onora said. She was ready to pass out from the blood loss. In 3..2..—-nope. She already passed out into darkness.

“We only have one option.” Howard exhaled shakily.

“Yes I should be dead. After you left me on the ground, I thought I was dead too, but not quiet. I was slowly drifting in and out of consciousness the entire time, only finally to wake up in a small cave where Shredder was attending to my wounds.”

(Suicide pact)

“We have to cauterise it.”

(~~trying to help y’all not make it so busy~~)

Edwynn knelt down next to Michael. What are your injuries? She asked him.

"Interesting. So you're in league with them, then?"

"Just my leg," he said.

Howard decided to let Onora sleep for the time being. He quickly and deftly sowed Jexus’ wounds, then gathered what he would need for Onora.

“I help heal his wound, and helped him get back on his feet. Like Ripred, I was cast out and happens to see him on the ground. Anyway, I trained him and he learned fast.” Shredder said in a hoarse voice. (edited)

He gently shook her awake.

Edwynn nodded and handed him a vial. Drink this. I will have to sew it up.

“I am going to have to cauterise the wound. It’s going to hurt, a lot.”

She could barely stay awake at this point. Her words slurred together. “O~okay..just—do what needs to be done.” Onora drifted into into unconsciousness.

Howard shook her again “You will have to be awake.”

Genor looked over to Michael. “Do you know how Ripred is doing? Has he... slowly started to lose his memories by any chance?”

She awake again. Onora tried and tried. “I don’t know—-“

Howard gave her two vials to drink, one to relax her muscles and another to numb her leg. He pulled out one of the unlit torches they had brought with them, and prepared a match.

"Yes, and it's getting annoying." Smokeswirl said.

“Edwynn, are you finished over there?” Howard called over.

Edwynn ties off the knot and wraps up Michael. Yes. Do you need assistance?

Howard grimaced. “Unfortunately so.”

Gregors face fell. “Ripred told me of this, I have a cure.” He looked over to Shredder. “How much longer?”

Edwynn walks over to him and kneels down. How can I help?

She had instantly became perplexed, afraid of what was to happen, would she survive? Onora watched the two, try to save her life. The bugs crawled in and out of the wound in her leg, as it was inflamed and oozed.

Shredder responded in a dry voice, “Perhaps when we wake up, it should be ready.”

(how did bugs get in there!!!)

Howard instructed her to place her hands above and below the wound. “Put as much pressure on it as possible, and whatever you do, however hot it gets, do not let go.” (edited)

(Holy crap)

20:24

(Just cut off her leg?)

(When they were flying some tiny bugs climbed in) (edited)

(What the )

(GROSS)

(Shhh it’s all from the blood loss you’re hallucinating)

(Yes I know)

(Ewwww)

(grody) (edited)

Edwynn nods and clamps her hands on either side of Onora’s wound.

"Ready? What's going to be ready?" Asked Smokeswirl defensively, ready to attack if things went awry. The pair was acting suspiciously.

Howard exhaled, then lit the torch. He let it burn for a couple seconds, before wiping away as much blood as he could and pushing the tip of the torch against Onora’s leg.

“A vial. Ripred-“ Genor sighed. “I’ll tell you the story later, we have some more pressing concerns currently.”

Edwynn grimaced at the sound and smell of burning flesh but held her hands steady.

The smell of the medicine had made her nostrils flare. She didn’t want this to happen. Her violet eyes widened as the blood began to bubble. Onora had screamed in pain. Letting out tears.

He held it there for five seconds, counting quietly, before taking the torch off and instantly pouring water over the wound.

"Are we in danger, Genor?" Smokeswirl demanded forcefully.

“Not you. But Ripred is.”

Howard wiped away the blood and burnt flesh, and tightly wrapped a bandage around Onora’s ’s leg. He then wrapped a second bandage above the wound, to limit the amount of blood going to her leg. (edited)

20:28

“Okay. You can let go now.”

"Fine. But if you're plotting something, know that we will not let it happen." Smokeswirl growled. "Trusting humans is always a mistake." She mumbled, walking over across the cave.

comfort

"Agreed. Humans suck."

comfort

“Is... is Onora going to be okay?”

Edwynn releases her grip and sits back and looks at Howard.

Up to her knee was burnt off. Passed out from the amount of blood loss. Onora was passed out, her soft violet eyes shut tightly.

Howard looked down at his handiwork. His hands were covered in blood and ash. He looked up and caught Edwynn’s eye, staring her down. (edited)

(Oh yess, the awkwardness begins)

(How will you do a love triangle of one of you doesn’t have a leg?)

(No this isn’t about spice, this is about the pain you carry with you in the medics, profession)

20:31

(Howard has seen and done some pretty horrific things)

(Exact)

(She’s still human..)

comfort

“Let her sleep.” Howard said finally, standing up. “She’ll have plenty of time to feel pain later on.” Howard walked a little away from the group, wiping his hands on his shirt.

20:33

He kneeled down, and put his head in his hands.

Edwynn nodded, cleaned her hands and slumped into a corner with Cass. (I’ll be back. Gotta eat the foodz)

(Eat the good stuff)

(demeter still has a big slice on her wing if anyone's bored XD if nobody can get it we'll just say howard got it when he got her chest)

Genor attempting to break the silence, said, “Have you figured out what disease that Ripred has yet?”

(I mean Onora really can’t)

20:34

(Wait disease??)

Howard forced himself to get up. He check on Michael, spent half an hour sowing up Demeter wings then finally attended to Ripreds scratches and cuts. luckily none of them were very deep, and only two needed stitching.

(It’s more than amnesia)

(His disease is called inflated ego)

Howard only got a chance to rest a couple hours after they had landed. He finished up sowing a small wound in his own calf, then washed his hands and sat back, leaning his head on Nike.

“Remember when me and Ripred got to the lands a day late? That’s because we spent a day trying to find the Amenine flowers. You see, he has a rare disease called Amenine, which slowly takes away your memories and throw you into incontrollable frenzies through some means. For Ripred, it was that every time he raged, he would be pushed closer and closer to the point of losing his memories. And once that has happened, he will slowly be pushed closer and closer until there is no returning. We have prepared a vial that should start helping him. (edited)

“Are you alright?” Nike had asked Howard, slowly facing him.

Howard had his head in his hands, shaking silently, and Nike soon realised he was crying.

20:39

(Man thus trip has taken a toll on Howard)

(Poor sexy Howard)

Nike had sighed, looking silently at Howard. She felt she needed to say it, now to. So no more pressure was put onto him. “Howard the Underlander,” (edited)

comfort

(Underlander*)

(OMG)

(If you look up the words you’re weak)

(I didn’t tho, so HA)

(OMG REALLY?)

(is this a bad time for Coilthroat to stage an attack)

(woah watch it)

(IS THIS HAPPENING)

(cause i might)

(O.X she said a BADDY WORD)

(Yes l)

(No definetlt not)

(you're a mod tsk tsk tsk)

(Stay away from attacks right now)

(Dont attack now)

(Oof demoted)

(got it)

“I bond to you. In life and death are one, we two.” She continued.

20:41

(IN SWORRY DIDNT MEAN TOO)

(Yesyeysyesyes)

20:41

(NO DONT STOP FINISH THE BOND)

(If yall look up the bonding oath your WEAK)

(i know it by heart)

(Exactly)

“In dark, in flame, in war, in strife.”

20:42

“I save you as I save my life.”

20:42

(DIDNT LOOK IT UP!

Howard looked at Nike for a long time.

Memorized it)

(Howard reject her for some drama)

(can we not have an attack until tomorrow because I have rp fatigue)

“Nike the flier, I bond to you.”

(Same)

Howard began quietly and shakily.

20:43

“Our life, and death are one, we two.” Howard continued, louder.

(ermagherd)

(yesyesYESYESYES)

“In dark, in flame, in war, in strife”

20:44

“I save you,”

20:44

“As I save my life.”

(I’m back bichez and I’m screaming)

(noice)

(I ate all the foodz)

(THIS IS GOOD)

Nike had looked at Howard, a feeling a pain had jabbed her heart. She did not want to see Howard like this. She was happy he accepted. The flier had hugged him with her wings quietly.

(Proud of you Megan) (edited)

(Good job Megan)

Howard fell into Nike’s wings, wrapping his arms around her soft body. “Thank you.” he whispered. “I love you.”

(Awwwww)

(dramatic)

(Wait that is only for Edwynn and Onora)

20:46

(Gasp how dare you cheat)

(I’m CRYING

I boat it)

(Coilthroat chose this moment to annihilate the two)

(Dont you dare)

“It is my pleasure. I love you too.” Nike had responded softly.

(Im sorry it only makes sense)

(There’s no way we’re using ‘boat’ for this)

(We will all end you in a second)

(0 chance)

(I swear if you do I will kick you in the booty hole)

(o yeah)

20:47

(attacking in 3)

(What)

(no I'm too tIRED)

(2)

(Okay we will kill you in a second try it)

20:48

(Wolf that’s the point)

(1)

(Go)

At this point Coilthroat had been there the whole time. He had snuck close enough and struck his claw against Ripred going into rage mode

20:49

(oh yeah)

(Wait DONt didn’t you read anything he’ll lose his memories)

20:50

(Oh that’s the point I hate you)

(well)

20:50

(yeah)

Ripred got up in an instant and, with glowing eyes, slit his throat, and he immediately fainted.

(remember no controlling characters)

20:52

(you broke a rule)

20:52

(lol dont you READ)

(Dang it)

20:52

(Fine)

Coilthroat stepped back a few places adapting a battle stance

(But consider it was a one on one where one had rager mode)

(we both do)

Genor rushed forward and immediately started dueling the rat.

20:53

(Wait you can’t rage)

20:53

(You aren’t level fifteen)

(yeah mikl said)

Smokeswirl turned around at the noise, immediately backing away. She began to move the injured into one spot, so they could be more easily defended.

(Oh he made an exception okay)

(since im the only bad guy its kinda unfair sooo)

Shredder jumped on top of the rat and started frantically clawed all over his face.

Coilthroat snapped his tail around Shredder snout throwing him away

Jexus lay there fast asleep

Shredder hit the wall, unconscious.

20:56

(Okay it’s a 2v1)

20:56

(I don’t think you can do much more)

Onora lay there unconscious from the amputation earlier.

(k)

Smokeswirl leaned Onora and Michael against Demeter, who was completely unconscious.

20:56

(are there any other injured people who she can move)

(O nvm it’s a 1v1 and both have rager)

(oh yeah)

They both started furiously dueling with each other, the fire burning in their eyes.

Coilthroat swiped and tried to find a weak point in Genor, but to no avail. (edited)

Congratulations, @Ewfawfa (Nexus/Coilthroat/Chloe), you've fulfilled 8 prophecies!

(ha)

(Bro He fainted)

(oh ripred)

(It’s Genor vs Coilthroat)

(u said shredder)

20:58

(ok)

(Yeah but you knocked Shredder unconscious)

(o)

20:58

(ok)

21:00

Coilthroat cartwheeled over Genor and slashed at his back, just nicking him

(i doubt a rat could cartwheel)

Gebkr turned around in fury and slashed his face.

21:00

(Yeah that’s what I thought)

(meant roll)

21:00

(got confused)

(Kay)

(lol ok)

Coilthroat stepped back knowing that that he would need to try something different.

21:02

This was when he got a malicious idea

(Oh no)

Smokeswirl crouched in front of the injured group, eyes on the battle. She hardly blinked.

Coilthroat took hold of Genor's hair and used that as a hold for claw to his stomach

(Yah but Genors bald)

21:05

(Jk carry on)

Coilthroat got six swipes in before he was pushed back

(can the others help)

(ur turn)

21:05

(i mean yeah but remember im a rager)

Genor got a good stab in the stomach before he pulled himself back.

(I have to go)

(i mean others are too soo)

21:07

Suddenly, Nexus swooped behind Genor and violently shoved him. At the same time Coilthroat whacked his head with his tail.

And Shredder sneaked up behind them and Coilthroat took a hard blow to the head as Genor put a deep cut into Nexus’ stomach.

Nexus screamed and retreated. Coilthroat whacked Genor, shoveing his claw up and into his stomach. Then Coilthroat looked at Genor, as if this wasn't over yet and ran.

21:11

(the only point of this attack was to wound you farther)

21:11

(im out)

Genor managed to throw a dagger into his neck before both he and Shedder fainted.

21:12

“Howard, please... help me.” As Genor passed out cold.

(Na man howards getting high af with his new bond rn)

As he was running, Coilthroat took the knife out. It wasnt a deep cut but still was very painful. He would take his revenge for this.

(A cut in the Stomach and a concussion for Genor and a quite heavy concussion for Shredder)

21:14

(Oh okay have fun)

21:16

The both of them bled out.

(wow)

(Jk)

(Coilthroat is pretty good at this)

(Yea)

(I mean the injury did happen but they didnt die obviously)

21:21

(and freaking Nexus comes in and just gets injured right off the bat)

(I mean if Ripred was back, then you would be out easily)

(questionable)

(Come on.)

(When i created the character, mikl allowed me to make it have the raging skill of ripred)

21:22

(no joke)

(Ripreds been doing this for years)

21:22

(Okay.....)

(its literally me agaisnt seven people)

21:22

(I think one really good rager and a smart bat is ok against seven people some of who are ragers and smart bats)

(But if Ripred=Coilthroat)

21:24

(Then multiple Ragers along with Ripred and multiple bats would easily kill them)

21:25

(Right?)

21:25

(Cause math?) (edited)

(not to mention the good guys are cooler)

(But could any of them stand a chance against DEMETER'S MOM FRIEND RAGE)

(hurt any of your friends and you're dead)

(Can someone heal them)

21:27

(Wait Drs probably sleeping)

21:27

(Nvm)

(i love how during the battle smokeswirl was screaming)

(Lol$

(join the voice chat)

(I can't)

(Why?)

(not you, ekatsime pls)

21:28

(jk lol but ekatsime i want to gossip with you)

21:28

(wait join again)

(Okay I left )

21:28

(Oh okay)

(I'm at dinner haha)

(I’m being banned)

(Ekatsime said I sound like a 10 year old >:3)

(You do)

(;()

(Turn that frown upside down)

();)

(Now listen here you little poop)

(No u)

(Why are you even awake?)

21:31

(I am concerned for your mental health)

(I’m doing some DM role play)

21:31

(Or trying to, but my two partners aren’t putting much in cough cough attie and Megan)

(Lol)

(Are y'all not in the cave)

(you're the one who needs to be putting things in

)

(Are y’all sleeping with each other)

(Oh trust me I am)

(thats probably hard since there isnt a lot of material to work with)

(XD)

21:33

(Days of the week)

(I’m tryingggg)

(Are they in the cave or nah)

21:42

(Or the ledge I guess)

(Nah

21:42

The palace)

(All the way back in the palace?)

21:43

(I'm confused)

(We needed a bed)

21:43

(And a bath)

(I've been reading everything and I still have no idea what's going on atm is that stuff canon)

(Non of it’s true canon)

(Alright I was confused XD)

(Nuu the ship)

(Is the fight still going)

(alright so i fought 3catsiMe and beat him since you were already wounded...)

22:31

(well you guys were)

(Wait what)

22:33

(I don't understand)

22:33

(Who won)

(me)

22:34

(A cut in the Stomach and a concussion for Genor and a quite heavy concussion for Shredder)

22:34

(I did that)

(Oh shoot where do we go from there if you won)

(uh)

22:59

(you know what)

23:00

(while you all are sleeping, I just kill everyone and end the story)

23:00

(easy)

(Theres enough damage that it would cause a retreat to the fount so from there? I dunno)

(yeah u guys scrood)

(Smokeswirl is awake)

23:03

(And protecting the injured)

23:05

(But I really want to get us to the place smokeswirl's sister was talking about)

(alright)

(Would it be realistic for smokeswirl to chase them out if they were already injured?)

(No)

23:15

(I mean if this was real time they would have bled out by now)

(What should we dooo then)

(No because I’m sure Howard will wake up and be like “What the holy hell happened to them” and then we’ll be saved)

(can smokeswirl yell at em)

(...why would you yell at two unconscious people?) (edited)

(wait isn't coilthroat still there)

(Who’s Smokeswirl yelling at this time?)

(I'm not certain)

23:19

(is coilthroat gone?)

(No he ran away)

(oh okay)

23:21

Smokeswirl watched as Coilthroat ran. She panted with exhilaration and fear, turning to the wounded who she had defended during the fight: Michael, Onora, and Demeter. She didn't speak, but her eyes questioned if they were alright, despite two being out cold.

(Am i out cold)

(are you? Demeter and Onora are, i believe)

(Okay then m I’m not)

23:23

“Thank you,” Michael said tiredly. The painkillers he’d taken were starting to make him a little loopy.

23:23

(Sorry if he didn’t take any but I want Michael to feel loopy lol)

Smokeswirl nodded curtly and rushed over to Genor and Shredder, pawing at them frantically.

Genor died and Shredder killed everyone.

(lovely)

(going to bed, let's rp tomorrow :D)

Onora woke up, her head was pounding. The halflander grunted as she struggled to sit up. Her hands caught the ground.

(Aren’t you losing a leg)

(She did, she just doesn’t remember it)

(Wait, legitimate question)

14:04

(What happened to your leg?)

(Okay I gotta take a shower be there in 10 mins)

( I know that a crusher messed it up)

14:04

(But like how badly?)

(It was a very deep gash or cut. It was bad, the crusher took away the skin that Howard needed to sew the leg up. And plus there was bugs so. Yeah)

(I thought that was your blood loss hallucinations)

(If she loses her whole leg smokeswirl and her can start the #noleggang

(Do it do it do it)

(Lol)

(Ib sry) Sky was up, standing guard and when he saw Onora wake up he walked over. (That would be pretty funny (not funny but.. yknow what I mean) ngl) (edited)

Smokeswirl nosed Genor, Ripred and Shredder for a few minutes before giving up.

(IM SORRY HOW DID SKY MISS AN ATTACK THAT LEFT TWO PEOPLE UNCONCIOUS HEJDHWKGOWJ) (edited)

The bandages were soaked in fresh blood. Onora looked down at her leg, well nub, gasping. “WHAT THE—“

(Sky explain yourself)

(Wdym "missed"?)

(You traitor)

Congratulations, @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes), you've fulfilled 19 prophecies!

(Okay, so two people sneaked into the cave and started violently stabbing a rat and a human and you just MISSED them walk in?)

comfort

(I wAs OuT oF pIsToL aMmO)

(aNd yOu jUsT lEt tHeM wAlK wItHoUt wArNiNg uS?)

(And he was OBVIOUSLY looking the other way)

(You need to be fired)

(Oml its his first time there without light cut him some slack)

14:27

(Bsides, maybe he did warn them yet yall ignored him like always)

(And just to be clear, you let them walk out too, turned a deaf ear to the violent grunting and talking that they were making while fighting)

14:27

(Bro only two of us were awake)

14:27

(I don’t think there was much that could have happened)

(I wAs At ScHoOl Ok?

(FINE)

14:28

(LETS LET THIS SLIDE)

(Im 2 hours buind

(Holy crap Dr and Attie are tied)

14:30

(Okay continue)

Her hands immediately went to her leg, seeing the bandages around it were soaked in blood. She shook like a leaf, half of her leg was GONE.

Smokeswirl looked over to Onora, walking slightly closer. The situation was something she could relate to.

Sky saw the two and figured he may as well step back, Smoke would pry be better. (edited)

Onora widened her mouth as she look up at Smokeswirl. “What happened?”

(You died)

(Wait Onora’s leg is missing? I thought we just cauterised the wound)

(I guess it’s up to Onora)

14:58

(And btw, once you wake up, pls fix me)

"You hurt your leg in the fight. They had to cauterize it." Smokeswirl said.

(Oh shoot. I totally misread that then)

(Good cause a missing leg would be kinda worse than a cauterized one)

(Yeah)

15:10

(Whoops)

15:11

She wanted to take off the bandages, seeing the burnt flesh, knowing what it really look like. “They—couldn’t salvage the skin?”

"No. Don't look at it, or else it'll hurt more."

Onora had groaned loudly, letting her head fall back against the rocks. She checked over to see if Jexus was still asleep, yup. Dead out.

(“Dead?”) (edited)

15:26

(Intresting choice of words but okay)

"Everyone else was asleep. There was an attack."

(Yeah and I think we are dead by now)

15:28

(Let’s just pretend not)

"Genor, Ripred and that other Gnawer fought them, but lost. They ran off without killing anyone, strangely." (edited)

(He actually didn’t)

15:30

(Coilthroat has as much skill as Ripred)

15:31

(Genor, a newfound rager, stood no chance)

(Well they got em to run away)

(Cause he could)

15:31

(His goal was to weaken me)

(UGh fine)

(And he pretty much just broke Ripred)

15:32

(I was going to fix him, but now...)

15:32

(You’ll see)

(Edited)

(I mean Ripred pretty much fainted in a second but kool)

15:34

(XD I’m just annoying you don’t worry about it)

( @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes) please stop using mean words

)

(?)

16:26

(...okay?)

(You said bad a word)

(Oh yeah)

16:29

(I thought that word was allowed though...)

(I told you specifically that it was not)

(Oh I’m sorry)

(Wait what word? Im curious noww)

(It won’t happen again)

16:30

(Um)

16:30

(Bad-butt)

(Wasnt that allowed?

(No)

(WHAT WORD?)

(WHAT DA HECK ARE YOU DOING)

(YOU ARENLIKE ASKING TO BE BANNED JUST SAYING)

(~~Furry role play in dms why?~~) (edited)

(Onora are u gonna continue lolol)

(Ye Sorry)

16:36

“Oh..” She really didn’t understand. Onora was probably asleep when this all happened.

Congratulations, @𝚊𝚝𝚖𝚘𝚜, you've fulfilled 18 prophecies!

(I’m sorry I know that you started doing your rp in the dms so you could take it farther but no furries)

(YESSS)

Howard had been quietly ~~taking drugs with~~ talking too Nike, but soon returned to check up on everyone.

~~Nike got some of that cocaine~~ and looked around at everyone.

(Btw I’m dead) (edited)

16:39

(WAIT)

16:39

(MU RANK)

(Ha gat)

(AH IVE BEEN DEMOTED HELP ME)

(It’s cos u said bad word)

(No)

16:40

(That’s not why I’ll explain in #the-council-room )

(I’m sorry ;-;)

Smokeswirl looked at her without reaction. "I know you're hurt, but can you administer basic first aid to these three?" She beckoned to Genor, Ripred, and Shredder.

(No I’m pretty sure she physically cannot walk rn)

16:46

(Dw Howard’s coming)

16:46

(Except he’s high af so I’m not sure we want him around injured people)

(Don’t worry you can’t fix Ripred)

16:46

(Make him un-high af)

Chai had descended with urgency, crouching to let the Underlander off. “Take the supplies over there.” The flier had pointed to the group, helping Anne.

"Who..?" Sky said, glancing to the flyer and the human.

comfort

(Thank god another Flier)

(Jeez I forgot that was a thing lol)

Smokeswirl crouched before the injured, not yet recognizing them. "Who are you?"

(I know Ripreds thicc)

16:49

(And amnesiac)

Sky walked over to the two sonewhat cautiously.

~~Howard giggles maniacally in the corner.~~

(HOWARD FIX ME PLS)

Demeter stirred in her sleep, waking up at the noise and looking around.

(NO MAKE EDWYNN DO IT)

“Oh, Alright!” Anne said, as she was running towards the group, her heart beating fast

All three lay next to each other, out cold. Genor was bleeding profusely from a cut in his stomach, the blood making a small pool around him. (edited)

"Hey. Who are you? And who sent you?" Sky said and Gregor slowly awoke to the noises.

~~Howard slapped himself a couple times to come down~~ and went to help the injured.

Anne looked turned around to see a person standing there” wh-who? Me?”

Howard quickly cleaned and bandaged Ripreds And Shredders small cuts, then turned to the big one in Genors stomach.

(Ripred isn’t hurt)

16:53

(Genor is)

16:53

(Dont worry about Ripred)

"Yes, you."* Sky said, grasping his empty weapon.* "Who sent you?" He asked, on edge from the two attacks.

(They all have scratches ok)

Michael found his sword. He hadn’t had a good experience with the last flier and human that had come.

comfort

Smokeswirl nodded at what sky said, turning to the newcomers and baring her teeth.

(Just fix Shredder and Genor, both having Mild concussions and Genor also having a kinda deep cut in his stomach)

Howard glanced up at the new arrivals, but soon turned his attention back towards Genors stomach. (edited)

Chai had blocked the Underlander from the rest of the group baring her teeth. “Queen luxa has.”

He was worried. He didn’t know how long the wound had been bleeding for, and there was a large pool of blood below Genor.

"And what proof do you have of that? And you have yet to tell us who you are." He wasnt normally this protective, but again after the two attacks, any unknown is very scary.

Anne saw the sword from Sky’s hand and started to panic. Her hands were sweaty and her heat beating fast, she didn’t know what to say

Congratulations, @Hollo.231, you've fulfilled 2 prophecies!

(It isnt a sword btw)

(Oh sorry)

Howard fumbled with the medkit, eventually finding an anaesthetic and pouring it down Genors throat. He cleaned the blood away from the wound, poured some ethanol over it to kill any infections and began to slowly stitch it back up.

Congratulations, @DrBracewell, you've fulfilled 18 prophecies!

(NOOOOO)

(Gg kiddos I’m coming for you Mikl)

(Oh boy)

16:57

(I think you’re already above me)

(I will not relinquish my position to you Dr)

Chai has flashed her teeth quietly. She watched them be defensive. “I am Chai. Sent from Luxa personally.” She cooled her temper.

"Another Flier attacked us earlier. Why should we believe you are not with them?" Smokeswirl asked sharply.

Anne calmed down “ I am Anne who was sent from Luxa as well”

(And a rat)

(yes but she's a flier)

Chai had released her tension. The gnawer has a point. “You have no reason to trust us, but Jexus does.”

Jexus stirred slightly in his sleep, and his eye blinked open. “Chai?” he asked groggily.

Onora looked at the two, staring blankly at the Underlander.

17:00

Chai nodded her head. The blonde flier had looked at Jexus. “Yes?”

(His eye)

"You know him?"

(I AM A HER)

17:00

(I MEAN SHE IS A HER)

Anne looked at Jexus with relief “phew, you’re okay”

(Im talking to youuuuu)

Jexus moaned as he pulled himself up. “Yes. We used to train together. What happened to you?”

(He doesn’t have an eye, but besides that, he’s okay!)

17:01

(Just catching you up)

(And is covered in large wounds and cuts!)

(And is dead!)

17:01

(Wait nvm)

“I have left Queen Athena. I am rouge.” She looked at Anne quietly, then Underlander seemed frightened. She whispered to her. “You will be fine.”

(That... that maybe wrong)

(Okay thx)

Smokeswirl relaxed her fighting stance slightly.

“You truly have come from Queen Luxa?” Howard asked. “Why?”

(Why you no fight when there was a rat savagely murdering Genor ;-;)

"Huh." *Sky said

(EVERYONE WAS ASLEEP)

"How did you locate us? Why did the queen send you?" Smokeswirl asked.

(No smokeswirl wasnt)

(Also doing nsfw role play in dms but that was a side thing)

(Yeah, I know)

(wink wink)

(Aren you putting ~~effort~~ in?)

(Smokeswirl couldn't do anything she ain't got thumbs and she's d e p r e s s e d )

“She wanted you to have more, plus some Underlanders who could actually fight.” Chai continued to speak. “Your scent is very—obvious, as I have a good nose. I could smell Jexus from a mile away.” The flier joked.

Anne was sweating with fear but knew that she can trust Chai and that she would be okay

"Are you aware of the attacks that happened?" Smokeswirl added. - Demeter shifted in confusion. "There was another attack?"

Genor slowly ~~And unrealistically~~ stirred. “What... what happened?”

Jexus just moaned again (he is in PAIN do not judge) and fell back asleep.

Onora had curled up under his wing quietly.

(Awwww)

Chai had looked at them. Attacks? “No, luxa—did not care to inform me.” She turned quietly to Anne. “Did you know?”

(Okay so Jexus And Onora are like out of this scene for now.) (edited)

(

)

(Yes)

(THEY ARE SLEEPING WHY ARE YOU SO DIRTY)

(No like)

17:06

(I didn’t mean that but okay)

(Lmao)

(*sleeping together)

(Okay what the heck)

(They are bonds)

17:07

(Dirty children)

(I didn’t start this don’t blame me)

(Yes they are)

17:07

(They are the best bonds ever I swear)

(Yes they are good)

Anne looked confused, she looked at Chai What? wait, what has happened?”

Smokeswirl looked around. "A lot happened. We were first attacked by a Flier and many Crushers, but we escaped. Later in the night, a lone Gnawer came and attacked while very few of us were awake."

Genor slowly ~~And unrealistically (again)~~ stirred. “What... what happened?”

The flier had looked at them, she nodded quietly. “It is good that we have medical supplies then.” She said, nudging the box close to the group.

Howard rushed over to Genor. “Lay back” he said, gently pushing Genor to the floor. “You should rest. I will explain everything later. Sleep.”

Sky slowly walked over and grasped the box. "Thank you.."

(~~I’ve been feeling it for a while~~)

"Is everyone okay, then? Has anyone died? How is Genor here?" Demeter questioned, looking around frantically.

Howard snatched the box from Sky’s hand and looked inside. Fresh bandages, painkillers, vials, sowing kits. There was everything he needed in here.

Chai had nodded. The flier had fluttered over to a ledge, where she hung. “Anne, you must sleep. It has been a long flight.”

"I was gonna give that to you but mk"

Genor refused. “Where’s... where’s Ripr-“ He looked over to the fainted Ripred in horror. “Howard... get me the leather pouch.” He said urgently. (edited)

Howard gasped like a boy on Christmas morning and went to replace everyone’s bandages.

17:11

completley ignoring Genors request

And Ripred died. (edited)

(You gotta untangle Onora. She got bandages everywhere)

Demeter smiled. "I cannot believe you live, Genor the Overlander." She groomed the stitches on her chest with her claws.

(Gtg I’ll rp when I get back)

Howard check on Smokeswirl. The cuts she had suffered had healed well, and she no longer needed bandages. He wiped and rewrapped Demeter chest, and made sure that her wing membrane worked fine.

(Wait no actually I need the pouch)

(Aww how long?)

( guys I gtg I’ll rp later

)

(Get it urself lazy pig)

(Bye :))

17:13

(Bro I cant WALK)

Demeter struggled to her feet, bringing the leather bag over to him. "What is this?"

Howard then turned to the two he was most worried about; Jexus and Onora. (these two are like the troublemakers of the group)

Genor immediately took out a green vial and furiously shook it until it was a bright, rosy red and shoved it into Ripreds mouth.

Howard gave Jexus some painkiller and redid the bloodiest of his bandages, then turned to Onora. He gingerly unwrapped the now blood-soaked bandage around her leg and gasped.

Genor slowly said, “Remember how his condition would get worse until he got the vial and it would speed up considerably when he raged? Well, when he raged, even for a split second against Coilthroat, it was enough. I fear... I fear he is a goner now.”

"Genor, if you are well enough- What is happening?" Demeter asked quietly.

(I’m a goner, somebody catch my breath.)

(oops let's just say that was before your message)

(Like the entire story?)

17:16

(Oh okay)

"His... condition?" Demeter said, cocking her head. "I do not follow."

(The amenisisoddhdkxidhdhdidjdnf thingy keep up)

(she was ASLEEP)

Genor gasped. “It was a rare disease in for the Gnawers hundreds of years ago. It would slowly wipe out their memories until they were a blank slate and couldn’t even formulate complete strings of thoughts. Eventually, the flowers causing this was removed, but a few remain. One got a hold of Ripred, and infected him. He told me on the walk to the Lands, and had a frenzy that almost killed me (a side affect, to act irrationally). I eventually told this to Shredder, who had a few curing flowers and we quickly made a vial. However, she warned me that I must get it to him before he was too far gone, and I fear that point has just now come when he tried to fight against Coilthroat...” Genors voice broke and trailed off. (edited)

"Oh, oh no..." Demeter said quietly, looking sadly to Ripred.

17:22

Smokeswirl looked down, feeling flushed. She had acted harshly against Ripred, even attacking him when he was framed. She was full of regret, but couldn't apologize. It was like Blackbite all over again.

”Peak.” Howard laughed.

~~Genor laughed and stabbed Ripred.~~ (edited)

"How are you... Alive?" Demeter asked, having missed that explanation too.

(?)

(she thought he had died)

(Oh)

17:24

(Wait)

(I am back)

(welcome)

(Answer dm question please)

(Done)

(Okay ill just type it out)

17:25

(“Yes, we will do it in the cave, not in the open)

Onora’s leg had had inflamed, and Howard could see the green tinges of infection.

The halflander winced as he unwrapped her leg. She wanted to cry out in pain.

“When I was bleeding in the street in which you left me, Shredder had found me. Already an outsider, she took me in. She taught me about his disease and I came by to The uncharted lands, in attempt to find you.”

Howard grimaced. He went to the medics, supplies to see if there was anything he could use.

"I see. I am glad that you live." Demeter said.

She twitched in her “sleep”. Onora had began to leak from her eyelids. She was a mess.

Howard gingerly cleaned her wound, then rewrapped it tightly. He would leave it for the time being, and check on it later.

She twisted and turned after Howard left. Sitting up to examine her leg, she rubbed it gingerly. It burned badly. She began to cry into Jexus, hoping he was awake. She needed him right now.

(Awwwwwwwwww)

(Okay can I pretend Michael has painkillers and he is very loopy right now)

(Yes)

(Ye)

(Yay thanks)

Jexus had been deeply asleep, but awoke when Onora started shaking him. He could feel her tears wetting his fur, and wrapped his wings tightly around her. He wished there was more he could do, but knew he just had to let her cry herself out.

(Np)

Michael woke up. He hadn’t fainted, he was just sleeping.

~~Michael laughed in loopiness and stabbed everyone.~~

Demeter heard him shuffle from the other side of the ledge. "How fares your leg, Michael?"

She was hallucinating, her light violet eyes became shallow and dry. Onora had held him close to her. She slowly began to fall asleep.

Sky walked around the camp, trying to find something to do. He felt like the only one not doing anything.

Jexus rocked her gently from side to side, quietly shushing her as he felt her drifting into sleep.

He looked at the bat in utter confusion. “Fare?”

Chai slept on the ledge soundlessly. Her blonde fur contrasting against the black and grey rocks.

(Wow Michael you’re such a gen z)

(Oh hush)

(~~just saying I bip Michael and Demeter~~)

"Your leg, how is it feeling? Is it injured badly?" Demeter clarified, fluttering over to him.

(Ikr)

(I’ll bip you)

(YOU WOULDNT DARE)

(I think we should do away with ‘bip’ and use ‘bship’)

(Fight fight fight fight)

(hush you, bip is superior)

“Oh. I don’t really feel anything.”

(I really liked ‘boat’ tbh)

(Ye)

(What injury was it? like did he break it)

(Yeah)

"Do you think you can walk?"

(Everyone is so injured lol)

(So loopy he starts flying)

“Let’s see,” he said, and he tried to stand up but fell on his face.

17:38

“No, I don’t think so.”

Demeter lifted him up by the back of his shirt. "Careful!"

“Owch,” he said laughing.

Howard addressed the group. “I know we are all injured, but we are still dangerously close to the battlefield from last night. If we can move, we should.”

Demeter furrowed her brow. "I can fly and carry injured." She offered.

Genor shook his head. “Only if someone can carry me, Ripred, and Shredder.”He said, in between gasps of pain.

"Thats a smart move. Is there a good place nearby? I dont think we can go very far."

"I am uncertain. But we are very behind on our mission. We may soon run out of time." Smokeswirl piped up.

Howard looked deep in thought. “If we fly for around four hours southward, and then rest, we should be safe enough until every heals up.”

"I don't think the path forks at all, so we will likely not lose the scent trail." Smokeswirl said, nodding.

(Ok so I was checking the news app and the top four stories were: - Children’s TV star dies age sixteen - 12-year-old boy dies weeks after being told he was cancer free. - 28 dead as bus overturns on Portuguese Island - Russian hiker found dead chained to a tree two years after his disappearance What is wrong with this world) (edited)

(;-;)

Howard nodded. “Then let us mount up.” (edited)

(Aww :()

Genor groaned, and attempted to walk to a bat, only to immediately collapse.

Onora had winced loudly as she stood up. “Alright.”

(Oh Wait There also: “Mathematicians discover new way to multiply large numbers.)”)

(Nice)

(wOaH)

(Maybe #the-overland would be a better chat brace)

(Mathematics: Discovers Super-Multiplying)

Howard helped Onora lie down on top of Jexus, and moved to assist everyone else.

17:48

(Yall would be dead without Howard)

Demeter stretched her wings, one of which had a long row of stitches running across it. "I can carry." She said, looking to the group for anyone to mount.

(Yea)

17:49

(Okay but for who can carry two unconscious rats) (edited)

Michael attempted to mount Demeter and fell on his face again.

(Demeter can carry ripred?)

(Demeter is tiny)

(that's... fair)

(Jexus is the only one who can carry him I thought)

(Yeah)

(she could take smokeswirl then because smokeswirl is smoller)

(Yeah, And nows there is two of them)

She sat on of Jexus, her eyes fighting to stay open. The halflander has hummed a little tune as she waited.

Demeter carefully scooped Michael onto her shoulders. "Can someone possibly tie him down? So he does not fall?" (edited)

“Sleep.” Jexus told her. “Let your leg heal.”

17:51

(Little does he know...)

(?)

(wink)

(?)

(You’ll see)

Michael squinted his eyes, as if questioning something she’d said.

Onora collapsed onto Jexus’s back, her curly hair fanning out against his soft fur. The pain in her leg was dreadful. She slowly tried to fall asleep.

17:52

(wink wink)

Jexus called out. “I am feeling better. I can take Ripred.”

(?)

(wink wink wink)

(I feel like you guys planned something)

(wink wink wink wink)

(something FISHY is happening)

(What the)

Smokeswirl climbed onto Demeter, behind Michael.

(Okay lets just go back to the rp)

“Hi,” he said, grinning, to the big rat. (edited)

"I'll make sure he doesn't fall." Smokeswirl said, rolling her eyes.

(Should we pay some more attention to our surroundings? Like, we’re in the uncharted lands, there is probably some weird stuff.)

(Yea)

(Absolutely)

(I have an idea for an upcoming area. rn we're in a small-ish, cold tunnel)

17:54

(and it's getting colder)

(Inb4 second waterway)

Sky glanced to all the bats trying to figure out who to ride with. Gregor did the same.

(It would be great if we found some flutterflies so they could carry a few people)

(MOTHS)

(Mhm)

(MOTHSMOTHSMOTHS BIG FLUFFY MOTHS)

(Yeah those canonically exist)

(we can have some that have adapted to the cold)

(Ye)

(I can work some in after the fam lands, if y'all are okay with that!)

(If you don’t know what flier to get on, just pick one and jump on, the person role playing will probably accept you. Also remember we have Cass.)

Genor dragged himself over to Demeter and lazily slouched on her back, trying to ease the pain.

17:58

(Sm1s going to have drag the rats over)

(~~idk why but I want cute stuff to happen~~)

(Can Demeter hold all that stuff)

(~~Same~~)

17:59

(Sshhhhhh)

(Demeter can handle Michael, Genor and Smokeswirl because she's a small rat and they're both kiddos)

(Ok)

Jexus landed next to Ripred, and Howard helped lift him onto his back.

Michael started laughing for no apparent reason. (edited)

Howard then packed up their small camp and jumped on Nike. (edited)

18:00

“Are we all ready?” Jexus asked the group.

(Wait does sm1 have Shredder?)

Nike nodded. She waited for someone to lift off.

(I guess chai can take her?)

Demeter jumped into the air, taking a few practice loops on her injured wing. She could handle the weight.

(Oh shoot yeah)

18:01

Chai carried Anne on her back, waiting for someone else to board. She wasn’t waiting any longer.

(I just realized NONE OF OUR CHARACTERS HAVE EATEN SINCE THE FISH SKKSFKjDH)

(Omg yeahh

(I really want hash browns)

)**)

(bro now I want hash browns.....)

18:03

(we'll just say they had some food before they left)

(I just kinda assumed they ate when the rested, from the supplies Nike was carrying)

(But not the fancy kind the fast food kind, like at Chick Fil A and McDonalds)

(But at that point you might as well have a burger)

Smokeswirl pensively gnawed on a stone, staring off into the distance. She truly regretted how she treated Ripred.

Congratulations, @Lenn, you've fulfilled 18 prophecies!

(I like hash browns way more than any other fast food item)

(Same)

The fliers took off, following Nike south.

The air grew colder as they traveled even deeper into the earth. Smokeswirl shuddered, even under her fur.

(Can we have one more stop before it gets super-cold, Onora needs to do something) (edited)

(Sure)

The bats flew steadily on, as most of their passengers slowly drifted off to sleep.

Michael did not. He stayed up annoying the crabcakes out of Smokeswirl.

(Woah let’s watch our language)

(Yeah dude chill)

Smokeswirl's hair was on end after an hour. Despite Michael being tolerable, at the moment he was unbearable.

(Wait what do I need to do)

(Just bonk him on the head with your tail or something)

“So how’s your day been going?” Michael asked for the fifth time.

"As I told you, it has been average." She said exasperatedly.

(Guys I’m back, what’s happening)

“Cool. Hey, that rock reminds me of something.”

(Brb)

Smokeswirl ignored the comment, hoping Michael would divert his attention to someone else.

Onora had shifted on Jexus. Her leg was throbbing. It bled and puss squeezed out of the infected wound. (edited)

Michael fell asleep without another word.

(oh no how will we survive without knowing what the rock reminded him of)

(Thank the god of Hash Browns)

(Tbh it as probably a hash brown)

(ur right)

*The tunnel began to widen, with odd rock formations decorating the walls and ceiling. Smokeswirl, who had been half asleep, raised her head and began to sniff, whiskers twitching. * "Eyes up, everyone. There is an odd smell in this cave I cannot identify."

(Brace you ready for the thang)

(oh yeah)

18:23

(oh wait thats not me shoot)

(lmaoo)

Sky checked his magazine and counted up the rounds in case of any more trouble. 5 left. That wasnt good. He looked to the rest of the group and then to the tunnel ahead.

Jexus could smell it too. His nose twitched as he tried to identify it. It smelt like some kind of creature, but he couldn’t place exactly what.

("use one of those to shoot me in the head" said smokeswirl)

("Nah, I wanna see the suffering" Replied Sky

(“Suicide pact!” Jexus said, throwing himself into the rocks below.)

(oh yeah, this is getting good)

(Everyone jumped off with him.)

(And coilthroat ate them all at the bottom)

“Perhaps we should land,” Howard said, motioning for everyone to set down on a nearby ledge.

Onora had sat up, her tired eyes frantically scouted out the area. She gripped Jexus.

"A good idea." Demeter said, looking around the cave worriedly. She landed beside Jexus.

Chai had landed with a thud against the rocks. Keeping her guard up. She could hear it too.

18:29

Onora’s leg began to throb. Something happened with her leg, as blood started to slowly seep through the bandages. “Uh—Howard?”

Demeter landing woke up Michael. He sat up and said “What’s going on?” (edited)

"I am not sure." Demeter answered worriedly.

Howard jumped off Nike and ran over to Onora. he gently pulled her off Jexus and onto the stone floor below.

Anne looked at Onora and gasp as she saw lots of blood covering Sonora’s leg

(sonora is my favorite character)

(Lol)

(Can I swear? Just this once, I promise!)

Anne ran towards Onora and Howard, “ will she be okay?”

(if you censor it)

She grunted as she was ‘thrown’ onto the tunnel floor below. Onora winced in pain. The halflander tried to reach for her leg, trying to cease the blood flow.

Howard gently unwrapped the bandages covering Onora’s leg. “Sh*” *he said, noticing how green and inflamed it had become.

(Wait censored@swearing is allowed....)

(I believe)

(Dont blame me if you get banned though)

"May I help," said a spinner stepping from the shadows.

(No I got this)

(can i assume the character)

(No half of us are almost dead)

Her soft violet eyes had widened dramatically. She began to tear up as she watched Howard unwrap her leg.

(no its good)

Chai had fluttered over, answering Anne’s question. “I am not sure.”

“It is infected, badly.” Howard swallowed. “If we were back at the Fount, it is possible it might be salvageable , but here... we only have one choice.” (edited)

18:35

Howard set his mouth straight. “We must cut it off.”

(oh no)

(NOOOO)

(wait)

(Poor Onora)

(wait)

18:36

(leave the leg there when you guys leave)

(#amputation)

Anne looked at Chai with watery eyes and looked back at Onora, she never felt such sorrow before, she didn’t want a comrade to be injured or even worse...die

(OKAY THATS CREEPY)

(I WANT EVERY SINGLE DETAIL)

18:36

(ALL OF IT)

(OF WHAT)

(THE AMPUTATION)

(Can y’all be quiet whilst we do this scene please?)

18:37

(Just for dramatic effect)

Even Smokeswirl winced, remembering losing her own leg. She watched silently.

(k)

Michael distracted himself by trying to stack rocks.

Howard began gathering what he would need: bandages, a cloth to soak up blood, painkillers and anaesthetics, and something to actually cut off the leg.

Onora had grunted. Soon after began to cry. Her curly hair had draped in front of her face—so she didn’t have to watch. She looked like a 5 year old seeing a murder happen.

Demeter covered her eyes and looked away.

Chai’s eye had widened, she swept Anne away with her wing quietly, wrapping her in her blonde wings.

An axe or machete would be best, but they only had swords. Howard examined them before choosing the one Gregor was carrying, a short thick one with a sharp blade. It would cut through the bone easiest.

Anne could feel her heart race, she didn’t want to see Onora’s leg chopped. She fell and started to hip Chai for comfort (edited)

Coilthroat, mildly interested and fascinated watched on from a secret hiding spot (edited)

human

(No not him no ragers are okay)

18:40

(all of them can’t even walk)

(i am watching gosh no attack)

Howard laid a hand on Onora’s arm. “I am so sorry.” he said “But you must be awake for the procedure. You must tense your leg, otherwise the sword will not cut it cleanly.” (edited)

Chai had laid her furry head down onto Anne’s head quietly, trying to sooth her crying.

“Oh Onora” Anne whispered underneath her shaking breath

Jexus had fallen silent when Howard said what he had to do, but now began to cradle Onora’s head in his wings.

(I feel like he wouldn’t be able to keep up with them, we were flying for four hours)

Just before he began, Howard remembered that he would probably have to cauterise the cut afterwards, and prepared another torch.

(he is the flash)

She nodded shakily, tears dripping off her cheeks. Onora had tightened her leg muscles, hoping it would be fast. She trusted Howard—with her life even. “Go.” Onora had whispered.

18:43

“Be quiet.” Chai had said to Anne quietly. “Howard needs silence.”

Howard began by scratching a small white line just below Onora’s knee, a couple centimetres above the wound. Hopefully the infected blood hadn’t reached there yet, otherwise this would all be for nothing. But Howard had to make a compromise between saving as much of her leg as possible and making sure he wouldn’t be leaving any infection in her body.

18:45

Howard gave Onora a small white vial to drink. It would numb her entire body, but not stop her from being able to tense the leg. (edited)

Anne nodded, and held back her tears

Howard stripped away any remaining fabric on Onora’s leg with a small knife, then picked up the sword.

Onora drank the vial, hoping this all to be over soon. She tensed her leg, looking away. She gripped Jexus, crying out in pain.

He looked over to Jexus. “Keep her as still as possible.”

18:47

Jexus nodded in return, and hugged Onora hard.

18:48

Howard positioned the sword lightly above the the line he had made, then lifted it above his head.

Onora’s whole body began to quiver. She tried to keep her leg tense, tears streaming out of her eyes. She hugged Jexus tightly, ready to scream from the intense pain in her leg.

With a grunt Howard brought the sword down, hard. It bit into Onora’s leg. Hot crimson blood spewed out, covering Howard’s shirt.

18:51

Howard pulled it out quickly, and brought it down again, into the bone, which made a sickening crunching sound.

Demeter gagged at the sound.

The feeling of the liquid splash against her face made her cry loudly. She screamed, tears running down her face. Blood spewed everywhere, her leg was—partially gone. She sounded like a baby, she couldn’t deal with this. (edited)

18:52

Chai had gagged at the sound, bending over. She felt sick

Jexus clutched her tighter, forcing himself to look as his bond’s leg got cut off. He owed it to her to watch.

Anne heard the sounds of screams leaving Onora’s mouth, making Anne to start loosing her mind

It took three more cuts to fully slice through the leg. Howard threw the sword aside and lit the torch, letting it burn for a couple seconds as he wiped away the blood and tried his best to sterilise the wound.

Coilthroat smiled licking his lips, his stomach growling in anticipation

(Man “sleeping”is going to be pretty annoying now)

All she could feel was the heat that came onto her leg. It was on and off. She guess he was trying to save the leg to the best of his ability. “Is—is it bad?” She said, her lips quivering.

With a grunt Howard thrust the torch at Onora’s stump, holding it there for five seconds until he pulled it sharply away and dumped it in the bucket of water he had put beside him. He poured more water over the sizzling flesh, wincing at the smell that had finally reach his nostril.

Anne looked to see Onora’s leg thrown to the side with blood all over it

“Do not look.” Jexus replied, clutching her head against his fur.

Chai had to back away from the scene to get rid of the smell within her nose. “I advise you to come this way.” She called to Anne.

18:56

That made it worse.

Anne nodded, and followed Chai and indeed, the smell was horrible

Howard wiped away the blood with a slightly damp cloth, forcing back the bile that arose in his throat. He pulled out a type of bandage Onora had never seen before, it had a yellow tint to it. He wrapped it tightly around her stump, gently turning her leg around.

18:59

Howard finally finished cleaning and bandaging her leg, and then poured a blue vial down her throat. She fell asleep instantly.

19:00

He leaned back on his knees, nodding to Jexus that he could let her go now.

She had became limp, the vial putting her to sleep instantly. Onora was laid against a rock quietly.

"God.." Sky muttered. That was terrible to watch.

Howard exhaled shakily, but he wasn’t finished. He quickly cleaned up everything he had used to amputate, then started checking on the other injured,

“Is... is it over? Is she going to be okay?” Genor mumbled from the back, trying to not cry from the pain in which he just noticed.

Howard swallowed. “I have done the best I could,” he said shakily “but it is too early to tell if the infection is still within her.”

“I’m sure that she is okay, with your expert skill,” Genor said shakily, attempting to reassure Howard. (edited)

Howard nodded, but seemed unconvinced.

19:03

Howard then went to rewrap Michaels leg, but decided against giving him anymore painkillers. (edited)

Chai had opened her wings, picking up Anne and throwing her onto her back. They flew out of the cave and onto a ledge not to far from the group.

Howard cleaned his hands, then leaned against Nike, panting heavily.

“that wasn’t the best scene. I’ve seen you in better ones.” Nike had commented simply. “~~especially with girls.~~”

Sky glanced at the group. He didnt wanna stay after that but being one of the only people that wasnt injured he needed to keep watch.

Howard punched her gently, but seemed unready to joke about what had just happened.

“Thanks Chai, I couldn’t watch the scene any longer” Anne said, with a small, sad smile (edited)

Nike had nodded. She knew it wasn’t the right time. Especially as of now. She thought that she could—help calm him.

19:08

Chai had nodded quietly. Studying Anne quietly. “What has disturbed you?” The flier asked, watching Anne’s expression change.

Howard wrapped his arms around Nike’s chest, showing her that he wasn’t annoyed, he just needed time to digest what he had done.

Nike had took the embrace, wrapping her wings around the Underlander quietly.

Anne went from with a small smile to a gloomy frown and with no more sparkle in her eyes, “ the way Onora’s leg was chopped up and her loud cries echoing through the cave, just made me loose it, I couldn’t take it”

Howards eyes drifted shut. He hadn’t slept on days, being buffeted between medical emergencies and watch duty, and then Nike bonding with him and now this.

19:11

(The boy needs sleep cmon everyone)

“Ha!” She laughed, commenting about the amputation process. “I couldn’t handle the smell.” (edited)

(WOA TOO SOON)

(Yes, his abs must stay buff)

(Wow you SADIST)

19:13

(Howard doesn’t even excersise that often, his body is just like that naturally)

(BRO!!)

(um, im not sure that was the best time)

(S T I L L)

(Wooooowww, Howard is just naturally hot)

(no ur right i agree)

(Howard makes everyone gay or straight)

(Yes, let us talk about gender and sexuality instead of rping)

(But like if Onora likes Howard back, how are they going to start a relationship? Their flirting be like: “cut off anyone else’s legs today?”)

(But this is with the rp’ing)

(Everyone will look at Howard and all the guys would IMMEDIATELY come up to him and ask for his #) (edited)

(Coilthroat will)

(Lmao)

(I assure you)

(And u right Brace)

(“Hey, Howard, please cut off my leg” Cue desirable moaning.)

(Y’all wanna skip to the morning)

(If you dont stop now 3katsiMe im going to attack)

Congratulations, @Ewfawfa (Nexus/Coilthroat/Chloe), you've fulfilled 9 prophecies!

(“But I already did? Do you want me to... cut off your other leg?”)

(I like how absolutely nobody cared about the leg thing)

(I need some spicy stufff)

(And is already joking about it)

(Can we get back to the rp now?)

(Pls)

Jexus clutched Onora tightly in his wings, wishing he could stop her from the pain. (edited)

(Ye)

(I can’t rlly do anything BC SHE ASLEEP)

(Lmao)

Chai picked up Anne and flew her back, dropping her near Jexus. “Make some friends.”

(I can bring in the moths but I'll have to go soon tho)

Sky glanced around the group again and hr watched the tunnel they came in from, keeping his hand near his waist. Gregor did the same for the other tunnel, only hand near his sword. (edited)

Anne gasp as she was pushed towards Onora and Jexus “Chai!!!” Anne whispered angrily at her,and looked at Jexus to see Jexus looking at her

Congratulations, @Hollo.231, you've fulfilled 4 prophecies!

Smokeswirl's nose twitched and her brow furrowed. She still could not place the scent that was in the cave. It was further masked by the smell of blood, singed flesh, and the faint scent the rogue Gnawers left as they passed through.

(uh its a spinner

Chai smirked as she sat back. Enjoy the show.

Anne looked at Jexus and Onora awkwardly for a few seconds and finally took a few steps towards them “ hehe, umm... hi”

(It's the moths)

(welp ok then)

Onora had moved in her sleep. Curling up further into Jexus’ wing. (edited)

Jexus’ singular eye was staring at Anne as she slowly approached them. He nodded back in greeting.

(“How is your leg doing? Oh wait...”)

Anne didn’t know what to do or say, all she could do was just stare at them, but finally was able to speak up. “H-how’s Onora feeling?” As she crouched down to look at Onora, peacefully sleeping next to Jexus

Jexus laughed slightly. “I don’t know, she’s asleep.” Jexus could feel the sharp stones rubbing against his back wounds, but didn’t dare move in case he disturbed Onora.

Chai smiled. She was off to a great start. But bound to mess it up. (edited)

Anne looked at Jexus, she could see that he wasn’t really okay, and that he felt anxious about Onora. Anne sat closer to Jexus, “ Does Onora snore when she sleeps??”

19:33

trying to comfort him

human

(Ignore him ^^)

(I’m so sorry that I text for too long, I had to think of something lol

)

Jexus laughed again. “Not as far as I know. We’ve only been bonds for a couple days,”

19:34

“How did you meet Chai?” Jexus asked suddenly. “You seem to know each other well.”

(Oh shoot, Attie, halp! I’m not good at this!!)

(I believe in you make up something cool)

(We met at a farm)

19:37

(Lmao)

Chai butted onto their conversation. “We were assigned to be with each other in Liza’s army.”

Jexus nodded. “So you’re a soldier?” he asked Anne.

Anne looked at Chai, hilariously upset “ Chai! I was doing so well!” Anne loudly whispered to Chai, upset at the fact that Anne was doing so well at making friends

Genor started hysterically laughing , “I’m sure you were.” (edited)

“ oh! Uh well, yeah! I was,” Anne blurted out with sweat all over her face with nervousness (edited)

“Was?” Jexus questioned. “What happened?”

After a minute, he caught his breath. “Erm, Sorry, that was rude of me.”

Anne looked at Jexus “ oh did I say ‘was’? I meant ‘is’ -I MEAN UHHHHH!!!”

Genor started laughing again, not being able to control himself.

“SHUSH GENOR!!”

Hearing this, Sky chuckled slightly. (edited)

Congratulations, @Logged off, you've fulfilled 12 prophecies!

Jexus began laughing too, the three of them sharing this moment.

(Eyyy)

Anne felt so embarrassed

Chai had laughed loudly, watching Anne try to explain her backstory.

Anne curled up into a ball “ I thought I was doing great at this, UGGGHHH!!”

Sky walked over to the group again.

Onora stirred gently in her sleep, and Jexus laid his wings across her, stifling his laughter at Anne’s misery.

Smokeswirl observed the conversation quietly, showing no expression.

“You did great!” Chai said, bursting with laughter. “Definitely worthy of a medal.” (edited)

Anne slowly breathed in and out, thinking that she would calm down and act cool“ so uhh, yeah! I was assigned to be Chai because I was so good at sword baking- I MEAN FIGHTING!!” (edited)

Jexus looked at her strangely, before smiling slightly.

“And uhhh.. Liza thought it would be a great idea to umm.. partner up the gayest-I MEAN GREATEST people in Liza’s army!!”

Chai rolled her eyes. She was needed to step in soon. The flier soon stepped in. “Take a seat Anne.”

At this point Jexus let out a small laugh. “Perhaps you should stop talking now?”

Anne started to cry out of embarrassment

19:52

“Help me Chai, I don’t think I can do this anymore...wehh” (edited)

“Now look what you did!” She snapped at Jexus, fluttering her wings. She scooped up Anne and sat her down. “Let it all out.”

19:53

Onora stirred in her sleep, her hair covering her face. She let out a small whimper, shaking.

Sky walked over, feeling bad for her.

19:53

"Hey, Im Sky.."

Anne looked at Jexus and then looked at Chai “ wait NO- IT WASNT HIS FAULT I MEAN- UHHHG!!”

Jexus gaped at Chai. He gestured towards Anne. “How is any of this my fault?”

Anne looked up to see Sky right in front of her “ oh uh- hi I’m Anne- I mean! You probably know that”

Smokeswirl rolled her eyes. "It would do you well to be silent."

Jexys slowly ran his claw over Onora’s hair, shushing her. (edited)

"Its nice to meet you Anne!" He said in a friendly voice, trying to distract her from what happened before, and maybe even give her another friend. (edited)

Anne looked at Sky with an innocent smile and sparkly eyes “ It’s nice to meet you too! I hope that we could be the bests of friends!” (edited)

"That would be awesome!" Sky replied to her. "I always love getting new friends!"

(This is so sweet I ship them already)

(SAMEEE)

(OMGOI SAME)

Chai had smiled. “Go play with your new friend.” The flier had said. She lived being Anne’s motherly figure.

(What if, like near the end of the story, they become... like a thing- IF ITS OKAY)

(Basicially we ship everything and anything but if you want actual sex go into dms)

(Lol Yeah)

(oooooooooooo okay~

)

(Kisses and gentle fondling are fine. I think)

(They should be)

Smokeswirl took an immediate distaste to the new human. She was grating, and fought for the Regalian army.

comfort

Anne looked at Jexus before asking Sky to play “ oh and, sorry that I made you the culprit because of my awkward self, I hope to be on friendly terms with you and Onora!”

(Shut UP virtual ripred skdjdjsj)

But Jexus had fallen asleep with his wing wrapped snugly around Onora, hurting from his eye and back wounds,

(Aww poor bby)

20:06

“I’ll leave you two to it!” Chai said, joining the sleep pile.

(Questionable wording but ok)

(Also fun fact: smokeswirl hates everyone so don't take offense to her being a jerk sksksk)

(Yes I know Brace) (edited)

(Kk)

20:08

(OMGOI WHERE DID SKY GO HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ANNE’S FUTURE BF

)

Congratulations, @Hollo.231, you've fulfilled 5 prophecies!

(What did I miss)

(We started to ship Anne andnsky) (edited)

(You mean Sky)

(Gregor?!?)

(Wait what)

(Yup, love that ship)

(Oh ok lol)

(Same)

(Shhhhhh I’m doing Gregor in dms it’s confusing)

(Make it happen pls)

(Screw Gluxa, heres Ganne)

(HAHAHAHAH)

(Is that it?)

(Woah what did I miss)

(Also that Anne is socially awkward)

(Onora's leg went bye bye)

(Wow too soon)

(We were both there)

(Anyways can we continue the rp?)

(Wait what happened)

20:12

(Why is Anne cozying up to Sky?)

(~~she’s horny~~)

(Whoa I’m going to have to ban you)

(Do it then you coward)

(Anne thought it was a great idea to make friends so she talked to Jexus but failed but then Sky talked to Anne and now they’re friends)

(NO PLS DONT)

(Besides she included innocent smile because she knew we were going to mess it up if she didn’t) (edited)

(NOOOOOO PLS)

(I won’t)

(Phew kk)

(Nvm)

(Hahaha just as I thought)

Demeter fluttered over, after having calmed herself down from seeing the amputation. "Smokeswirl insulted you yet?" She smiled. "I'm Demeter, I am not sure that we have met yet."

(Wait Onora hasn’t met Demeter?)

(Mono the new folks)

(She is very clearly talking to Anne)

(Anne and the flier

Anne looked at Demeter “ oh-um hello! My name is Anne! It’s a pleasure to meet you!”

"Likewise. Thank you for bringing the supplies to us. We certainly needed them."

Michael had gone to sleep without anyone noticing and he just woke up. He blinked. “Hey. Who are these guys?” He said and found his sword. (edited)

Howard jumped up. “Easy, Michael, they’re friends,”

“Oh!- umm no problem hehe!”Anne chuckled. “ Um excuse me for a sec.” she went over to Chai who was at the other side and nudged her. “ Chai, Chai! I made friends!!” (edited)

“Okay,” he said. He hadn’t had a good experience with the last flier and human duo that came here, but he trusted Howard.

Genor’s head perked up. “Hey Michael, we haven’t had a chance to talk since my very subtle reunion. How’s it going?”

Michael’s face lit up. “Genor! I thought it was just a dream!” He instinctively got up and ran towards him for two feet then fell on his face again.

"Michael, stop that!" Called Demeter good-naturedly.

Chai lazily opened her eyes. “Go away..” She growled, half asleep.

Genor really tried not laugh, but chuckled instead. “I’m sorry, I’m really trying not to laugh. I’ve changed though. I swear.” (edited)

Michael crawled over to Genor’s feet. “How are you alive?” He said, hugging his legs.

(I think michaels still a little high)

Genor looked down in surprise. “You don’t remember me coming back in battle? Saving your life...?”

(He’s not He’s just really excited lol)

“Are you still on the painkillers?”

“I thought it was just a dream!”

Sky smiled at the ehole scene and went back to his watch, and drew his weapon. 5 shots left. He took off the slide to clean it.

(Save them)

Anne smiled at Chai and sighed. She looked over to Michael and Genor, talking and catching up on things

“I don’t think so? I guess I wouldn’t really be able to tell if I was!” he laughed. He didn’t feel weird, just giddy with his friend being back.

(Well yeah)

(I’m not high I promise)

(~~make a move someone~~)

Demeter fluttered back over to Michael and Genor. "We are all very glad to have you back, Genor."

Genor laughed. “Okay then. Moving on, what’s happened since I was gone?” (edited)

(Never answered my question that’s fine I guess sniffle)

~~Genor kisses Michael then took Sky’s gun and ran away.~~ (edited)

20:25

(Okay I made the move now what)

(Uh, interesting move)

Anne walked towards Sky and nudged his arm “ So Sky, do you want to talk and y’know.. get to each other?”

(Very forward Jexus approves)

(I’m sorry but this is petty antisocial and sad)

(All role playing is antisocial and sad what’s your Point?)

(Good point)

(Lol)

(Sky... RESPOND)

20:27

(Lol)

(No he ran away with me)

(Oof so true) (Im sorry I was EaTiNg) (YESS) Sky smiled and glanced over, placing back the slide. "Sure!"

(Does he shoot her)

(wut)

(Oh okay he didn’t that good)

(Shoot her! Shoot her!)

(Hah excooose meh)

20:29

(NO DONT SHOOT HER)

(Dw it’s a proven flirting technique)

(Wow really?)

(Ill have to try it sometime)

(Yes)

(Holy)

(I need to try that)

Michael rolled over to the visitors “Hey, what are your guys’ names?”

(holy CRAP WHY ARE THERE COPS AT MY DO-)

Little did they know that Chai was silently watching them and shipping them. (edited)

(Michael is acting very strangely for someone who adamantly says they’re not high) (edited)

(He’s high on friendship)

(Okay I convinced them it as a flirting technique)

20:31

(Gtg)

20:31

(Gn)

(#friendshipgoals)

(Gnn)

(Gn!)

(Good night buddyboy)

(

)

Before talking with Sky, Anne looked back to talk to Michael “ I’m Anne, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”

“You too,” he said, smiling.

(Bye)

(Genor shoved a pack of painkillers and crack into Michael’s mouth)

Howard walked up to Michael and handed him some painkillers. “Here, take these for your leg.” (edited)

“Right now? Uhh, okay, thanks,” he said, swallowing them.

(Howard laughed manically as he cast a sideways glance at Smokeswirl.)

(YEAAAA)

(Should we do like a few hours timeskip so it kicks in)

Anne whispered to Sky “ Is Michael okay? He seems...a bit off”

20:36

(yeah, later though. Til Sky responds so it doesn’t just cut off there)

(Okay)

"He's hurt, and on a lot of painkillers." Sky told Anne.

Onora awoke from her sleep, only to soon fall back into oblivion.

(Okay I’m gonna skip a few hours)

(Alright)

Michael started hiccuping and pretended to draw a picture in the air with his finger.

(I mean Onora lost a leg but Yeah a fractured leg sucks)

“Look, Smokeswirl! It’s us!” he giggled.

(Okay Howard definitely put his drugs in there) (edited)

Jexus had been laying awake for half an hour, unmoving for fear of disturbing Onora. He was uncomfortable

human

(Yes)

(Noonstopp)

( @Lenn are you there? Michael is trying to become an artisan)

"That's great, Michael." Smokeswirl grumbled.

(Before she would’ve snapped at him)

(Oh good I’m feeling loopy)

(Is it possible... that Smokeswirl is starting to like Michael???)

(I took some type of painkiller)

(I gotta go for a bit)

(I’m so dead)

(Bye)

(I started playing Mario in my mind but it turns out I pillow)

He awkwardly shuffled over to Anne and Sky. “Who the heck are you?”

Anne looked at Michael “ Um, Anne? Didn’t we already greeted each other?” (edited)

(Hey Michael I just remembered Konkerdoodlebundleflop)

(OH MY GOD)

(Heh I guess painkillers aren’t the worst)

20:43

(Okay im seeing stars goodnight)

(I REMEMBER THAT)

(Bro Mario came to my house and gave me some mushrooms and now I’m like fifty feet tall)

20:44

(Okay im actually on painkillers though and I’m trying to fight the urge to sleep)

Anne looked at Howard “ um Howard? I think Michael is acting a bit odd?”

“STOP PLAYING-“ Michael realized he was shouting. “...games, woman! Answer the question!” Michael whispered sharply.

(Woah)

“He’ll be fine.” Howard said, engrossed in a book he was reading.

(Where did you get a book)

20:45

(I want in)

(He brought it with him bcos he gets bored on long trips)

And Genor started reading the pages with Howard in an attempt to touch his abs. It didn’t work.

“Umm my name is Anne and this is Sky? We already greeted each other a few hours ago” Anne said, looked worried for Michael

Michael tried to do a cartwheel away from Anne out of nowhere from the ground and collapsed when he put pressure on his leg. It started hurting more so he stole some painkillers from Howard’s bag while he was reading and took more.

(Oh Michael...)

Onora had awoke again, feeling better than before. She didn’t want to collapse onto the floor. The halflander brushed her hair out of the way. She looked down at her leg, it was real. Onora spotted Howard, but soon averted her gaze. (edited)

(....ph dear)

Genor tackled Michael and made him choke out the painkillers. “No... no more.” He struggled, surprised by Michael’s new found strength. (edited)

(Michael body slammed Genor onto the ground)

Michael threw Genor against the wall and started eating the Painkillers again.

Michael grabbed Genor as he was walking away and sucked them from off his hand. (edited)

Jexus tried his best to say silent, but he was incredibly uncomfortable. “Onora... could you perhaps, move off me?”

(WHOA MICHAEL)

20:49

(WHAT)

human

(I NEED MY HAND)

Anne gasped to see Michael and Genor fighting, but was even more surprised when she spotted Onora awake

(Wow great response time virtual Ripred)

20:49

(Human comfort)

human comfort

Genor layed out cold against the wall of the cave. (edited)

“Onora, you’re awake!” Anne said, running to the other side of the cave “ how are you feeling?”

(Someone stop Michael)

20:50

(He’s eating all his painkillers)

(Yes pls)

(I mean I’m out cold cause I felt like it(In hindsight, probably not the best choice)) (edited)

“Oh—er..Sorry.” She said softly, sliding off of Jexus. Onora had spotted the new Underlander running over to her. “I—-I am fine.” *The halflander said tiredly.

(How did you run)

20:51

(What)

20:52

(I am unaware of one leg running)

Michael started sobbing uncontrolably. He curled up into a ball.

Jexus breathed a sigh of relief when Onora got off him, and stretched his wings gingerly. “Do not try and stand up.” he said, focussing back on Onora. “Sit and rest for a while. I will get you some food and drink.”

Anne sighed and smiled at Onora “ I’m so glad that you’re alright. I would love to introduce myself to you now, but I think I have to go.. stop a fight”

(okay STOP HIM)

20:53

(Oh thank you)

20:53

(By the way I’m up against the wall out cold)

20:53

(And Michael’s...)

20:53

(Doing him)

(No)

20:54

(No)

20:54

(I’m crying)

20:54

Michael curled tighter and started crying harder.

(wHaT)

Demeter grabbed Michael and held him still with her wings. "Deep breaths." She rolled her eyes.

(“Not crying” my painkillers)

Anne walked over to Michael, putting her hand on Michael “ Michael its time to calm down!”

(Only Mom Demeter can stop Michael)

(And Anne)

20:55

(Okay maybe not)

20:55

(I’m sorry if he kills you Anne)

Michael whipped his head in Demeter’s direction. “F*k you- Oh, hi Demeter!” *he said, smiling. (edited)

(WHOA MICHAEL)

20:55

(WHAT)

20:55

(JEHAKCHSLCODJ)

20:55

(that was OUT OF LINE SKNCECWHEN)

20:56

(YOU)

20:56

(OF ALL PEOPLE)

Anne took a few steps back and looked at Demeter, who was standing there, furious

(OH MY GOD AHAHAH)

(THAT IS THE MOST HYPOCRITICAL THING I HAVE EVER)

20:56

(WHAT)

(It was censored :/)

(wat)

Onora nodded to Jexus as she saw him leave. She turned his attention towards Anne. “Hopefully you win that.”

(BUT)

"No more painkillers for Michael. Ever." Demeter stated.

(What difference does it make if one letter is censored?)

20:57

(We still know the word)

(Guys I was saying fork)

(Might as well just let us swear)

(You censored u)

Coilthroat, everyone unaware at the time, grabs Onora and disappears

(I kinda don’t understand why we cant)

(Putting an O there ABD WHAT)

(dont worry onora youll be fine)

(No fork off)

(WHAT)

(no forking make me) (edited)

(YOU SON OF A FORK)

(WOAH WATCH IT)

(YOU JUST GRABBED)

20:58

(WHAT)

(fork me all of you forking pregnant dog's butts)

(Can we just use the good place swear words instead?)

(What does that mean)

Onora had screamed as the gnawer us grabbed her. She struggled to get out, but her injured leg wasn’t helping at all. “HELP!” She cried, passing the group.

(It’s a show)

Coilthroat disappears

Smokeswirl immediately sprung to her feet. "What?"

Michael hopped like a frog following the gnawer.

Coilthroat then reappears behind Shredder and disappears

(Guys I have an idea)

(Wait, you still got Onora)

Shredder, seeing her old nemesis, immediately took off after the Gnawer, disappearing from view.

(ya boiii)

“Onora!” Jexus yelled, pointing her out to Smokeswirl. “Save her!”

(Michael sees where he goes and high Michael has to guide everyone)

She struggled, she needed to get away from the gnawer, only hurting herself worse.

21:00

Chai flew after the gnawer, as did Nike.

Genor, studded from the corner and immediately sensed something was wrong. “WHERES SHREDDER?” He leaped up in fury.

Coilthroat breaks Onora's arm while running, probably on purpose (edited)

Anne heard a scream, it sounded like... Onora! Anne saw a gnawler grabbing onto Onora as she screamed for help

Jexus groaned as he forced himself into the air and took off after Onora.

Anne ran after her “ “ONORA!!!”

Soon Nexus swoops down and grabbs Anne, her talons digging painfully into her skin

Jexus flew at breakneck speed, soon flying directly above Coilthroat.

Nexus sees this and throws Anne at Jexus at full speed

Genor, outraged ~~that someone told him that it was Coilthroat,~~, screamed in fury. “I’ll BURY YOU NEXT TO YOUR PATHETIC BAT,” And took off in great speed. (edited)

Chai took off after Anne, being fast as she was. She grabbed the bat Nexus and pushed her down.

Coilthroat keeps running, suddenly stopping and rushes toward Genor, whacking her/him with Onora

21:03

He then resumes running

Jexus grimaced, but no one else was around to catch Anne. He reluctantly peeled away from Coilthroat and Anne landed softly on his back.

Nexus drops Anne slams into Genor

Genor lay on the ground, fainted from the immense blow of Coilthroat’s tail.

Smokeswirl tried to follow, but her missing leg caused her to fall. She was unable to keep up.

(Dude you said you threw her at me)

(lol nice attempt)

(Guys let him get away, it’s clear that we can’t win without all four ragers)

(But Onora!)

(oh nvm that i stilll have her)

Her head banged against Genor. Her head began to hurt. And Onora’s wound began to bleed.

(i tackled you)

Sky (who was there the whole time) ran after and fired twice.

Coilthroat was hit by one but kept on running banging Onora's head on the ground

(There goes two shots)

(srry Onora i dont hate you its just a random hit)

"How is he still up??" Sky said and slowed in shock.

Chai had snatched Anne off of Nexus and threw her onto her back.

(No way)

The other his Onora

21:05

Coilthroat stumbes

Jexus took off at coilthroat and soon reached him. With a roar Jexus dived down and sunk his claws deep into coilthroats back.

(usndiwndiwnd)

(Should Demeter try to defend people)

21:05

(Like is Michael still fricked up)

(Yeah)

Congratulations, @Hollo.231, you've fulfilled 6 prophecies!

Coilthroat lashes with his tail, and breaks off two of Jexus's teeth

Jexus slowly lifted Coilthroat into the air.

Onora became weak, she couldn’t fight. The halflander rolled onto the ground.

Nexus then slams into Jexus again

21:07

Nexus sinks her fangs into Jexus's neck

21:07

Paradox, a new spinner appears and wraps Jexus in web

Jexus let go of Coilthroat, but Coilthroat also let go of Onora. Jexus dived, catching Onora in his claws moments before she hit the ground. (edited)

Nike had full throttled after them, slamming into Nexus with full speed. The small flier had thrown Nexus against a cave wall.

Anne was scared. She was holding onto Chai for dear life, she couldn’t process of what just happened. But then, she saw blood, Onora’s blood

Sky yells in frustration and barely keeps from firing his last three shots.

Nexus stunned fleed

Demeter grabbed Michael and stayed away from the fight, as he was too indisposed to battle.

Coilthroat makes a tear in Jexus' wing and continuously beat Jexus up

(Dude I dropped u ages ago)

“What’s going on?” Michael asked worried.

Onora had opened her eyes, seeing a spider approach them. She coward in Jexus’ talons.

(Somebody help Jexus pls)

Genor started choking out of nowhere. “I... I... I will kill you,” And stayed unconscious.

Coilthroat leaves Jexus's battered body and runs a few paces away

Jexus hugged Onora close, determined to protect her against harm.

"Go! Help him!" Sky yells angry that he cant do anything.

Coilthroat leaps and jumps on (the guy with gun's) back and stabs him

Chai had back tracked the way they came, swooping to pick up Sky. She tore Coilthroat off of Sky and flew off with the two. “Anne tend to his wounds now!” (edited)

(Sorry Attie!)

(He has a nameee)

Coilthroat swung back and almost teared off its talons

(You’re fine!)

Realizing this was a fight to be continued in, he ran

21:11

(he's gone)

She hid Michael in her wings. Smokeswirl crawled over and hid with him, too. "We have been attacked." Demeter whispered to Michael.

Jexus squirmed in the web, but only succeeded in tangling himself more. “Gregor!” he called.

Paradox, still there, has already spun a web and trapped Gregor

Onora yelped as she was tangled in the web along with Jexus. She gasped.

21:12

(WHERE IS HOWARD)

Gregor was struggling to fight out of the webbing.

Michael started panting hard.

(Oh Yeah)

21:12

(

Anne held on to Sky, seeing that Sky was now unconscious “ Sky? Sky stay with me!”

Paradox seeing the gnawers escape ran and escaped

Nike had attached the spider, trying to blind it with her wings. She tried to poke its eyes.

(Btw Genors unconscious )

Suddenly Howard appeared, riding upside down on Nike. With a grunt he forced his sword through Nexus’ chest. (edited)

nexus is gone

Gregor was finally able to escape the webbing, and ran after the spinner.

She left

(Use parentheses)

(srry)

21:13

(forgot)

(Fine paradox’s chest)

(It’s okay)

Anne looks at Chai “ Chai, we must land! I need to bandage up Sky, he’s seriously injured!!”

(I mean i said they are gone but ok)

(Forget about sky what about Onora)

“Gregor!” She called after him, struggling to get out of the web. Onora grunted trying to escape the sticky webbing.

Gregor stopped as Paradox finally got out of sight. He ran over to Onora and cut her down.

“We have those at camp!” Chai said, making her wings beat themselves faster. She crash landed into the camp, the two of them rolling off.

Howard flipped of Nike’s back and rushed over to Sky. He pushed past Anne and grabbed a nearby medkit.

She hit the ground with a thud, looking back at her bond. “Help Jexus too!”

(btw Coilthroat has Shredder)

(Yeh I have him permission don’t worry)

Sky was out cold, his back all tore up. Gregor ran to the rest of group. "What can i do?" He asked Howard.

As the fight ended, Smokeswirl spilled out of the protection of Demeter's wings, chest heaving. Her eyes reflected terror. Memories of the battle that took Blackbite flashed through her head.

Anne groaned, but was able to get up and crawl near Sky and Howard “ will he be okay?!And what about Onora?!” (edited)

Nike flew safely to the ground. She noticed Jexus struggling. The flier had flew over to the webbing and tried to cut off the pieces. She quickly freed Jexus from the webs.

(Oops)

Demeter spread her wings, letting Michael out since he was no longer in danger.

Genor, with a Gasp, got up. “Where, Where is Shredder?”

Howard handed Gregor a cloth. “Put pressure on the wound.” he told him, digging around in the medkit.

Gregor did exactly what he was told no question.

Howard quickly poured a small clear vial down Sky’s threat then gently removed Gregors hands from Sky’s back. He exhaled in relief. “It is not nearly as deep as I feared, and is nowhere near his spine. He will need stitches, but will otherwise be fine.”

tears started falling down Anne’s cheek as she felt useless at a time where people are getting injured

Howard began cleaning and stitching up Sky’s back.

Onora wobbled over to the scene, trying to help. There was no place for her, all she could do was sit and watch.

(dont worry ill be gone for a while now)

21:20

(i dont think you guys like being beat up)

(~~like Onora’s injury~~)

(just a guess)

Gebor stumbled over to the group, gasping for air. “Is Shredder gone?”

Congratulations, @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes), you've fulfilled 20 prophecies!

Chai had fluttered over to the scene, trying to comfort Anne quietly.

“No.” Jexus said, nudging Onora onto her back. “You look beat up, I’ll get Howard to check you out.”

human

(No way)

(?)

She shook her head. “I can care for myself—“ Onora stopped herself, studying Jexus quietly. She ordered him to sit.

Howard turned to Onora after bandaging Sky. He began by gently cleaning the cuts around her head, but soon pronounced them of little harm. She was otherwise fine, but Howard promised to check on her leg after he had finished with everyone else. (edited)

“I’m useless, I’m worthless, I’m...so sorry,” cried Anne who was half way to despair. “ I should’ve helped Onora and the others, but I didn’t”

Genor slowly said to Michael, “She, is she gone? Is Shredder dead?”

“you aren’t. Stop doubting yourself!” She told Anne. Chai had wrapped her inside of her wings.

Howard wished he could help Anne, but he had more important matters. Jexus was covered in cuts and bruises, some that would need stitches. His eye was bleeding again, which was not a good sign.

Onora rolled her eyes at Howard, she examined Jexus’ cuts. “I can take care of the cuts, you get the eye.” She told Howard.

Michael hadn’t looked up from the rock that he was staring expressionlessly at twenty feet away.

(oooh whats over there)

(He’s high)

(oh)

21:26

(understandable)

21:26

(it happens)

Howard nodded, and gingerly unwrapped Jexus’s bandage. He was surprised to see that the eye itself had healed nicely, the blood was coming from a small wound above Jexus’ eyebrow. Howard quickly cleaned that, but it was too awkward to out a bandage on.

Suddenly, Genor couldn’t take it anymore. He curled up into a ball and started to cry on Michael’s lap, not effecting Michael at all. He cried himself to sleep.

Demeter wrapped her wings around Genor and Michael as Genor cried.

(I can’t fight it anymore, the meds are too strong. I have to sleep now. Goodnight)

Onora had rummaged through the med-kit. Finding the peroxide she needed to clean the wounds. “This may sting a bit.” The halflander had dumped some of the peroxide onto his cuts, drying them. She proceeded to grab a needle and threaded it. Onora had stuck the sharp needle through his skin and out, sewing up the cuts she could find. “Any others?”

Howard glanced around at everyone else. They all seemed a little bruised, but there were no other serious injuries. Howard gently pulled Onora away from Jexus. “I can finish that.” he said. “You sit down, rest. You likely have a concussion.”

(GN)

(Bye)

(Gn!)

(Howard will my leg ever work again)

Howard finished up Jexus’ cuts then turned towards Onora’s leg, or lack thereof.

21:30

(No shut up Onora doesn’t even have a leg be grateful)

(I’m just asking man)

“But—“ Onora had turned to Howard, her hair whipped around. She grunted as she sat herself into the ground. It stung when Howard touched her leg.

(you get a wooden peg)

Michael fell asleep, comforted by the presence of his friends.

human

”Moment of truth.” *Howard said as he slowly unwrapped Onora’s bandages. Fortunately, however, the leg look clean of infection. It was still covered in blood and burned flesh, however, se Howard gave Onora some painkiller before sterilising the stump and rewrapping it. (edited)

(lol everyone lost their leg)

She took the painkiller, it sliding down her throat. “Why don’t you let me help you?” Onora asked Howard, pulling up her hair.

Howard smiled up at her. “You lost a leg less than twelve hours ago. You’re in more danger than most of them.”

(Guys, if it’s okay with you, I won’t text cause I think I should butt in when people are fully healed)

(Yeah I think everyone just needs some rest)

(I don’t want any more crackhead Michael)

“And? That doesn’t stop me honey.” Onora responded, her accent soaking through. She sat up, placing her hands behind her.

Howard finished bandaging her up. “Please, just rest. You won’t be any use to anyone unless you let yourself heal properly.”

“I just want to help.” She said, folding her arms across her chest. Onora followed his request. She laid down against the floor.

“I know” Howard said as he walked away. (edited)

21:40

(Damn that was cold)

(Oof yeah it was)

(Sizzle sizzle)

Jexus curled up beside Onora and drifted off into a deep sleep.

A few members off the group were still awake. Like Anne, Onora, and Chai, probably more. If anyone needed her she would be woken up by the others. She casted a glance at Howard. Onora then drifted off into oblivion. (edited)

Sky was still out, and Gregor began watch as he saw people falling asleep.

Before Anne could fall asleep, she went over to Gregor “ hello, why are you still up when everyone is asleep ?”

(Imma head to bed y’all, Gn!)

(Bye!)

(GN)

(Good rp today, very exciting)

(Me too, night everyone)

(I should go to sleep as well, I’m worn out

well GN everyone!!)

21:49

( it was nice role playing!!)

(See we told you it would be fun)

Congratulations, @DrBracewell, you've fulfilled 19 prophecies!

(And your actually really good)

Smokeswirl curled up away from the group, falling asleep.

21:56

Demeter remained awake for a while, afraid of another attack, but eventually succumbed to sleep.

Gregor was up all night walking around camp making sure nothing came.

After Smokeswirl finally fell asleep, she was tortured with terrible nightmares. She shuddered and struggled in her sleep, calling out unintelligibly.

(Yeah Hollo, you were really good at roleplaying!)

07:30

(We would love to have to continue it!)

(Agreed)

A couple hours later, Jexus stirred from his sleep. He opened his eye wearily, then painfully got to his feet.

Onora woke up from her sleep, putting her hand to her head. She yawned, looking over at the others. Onora saw Jexus was awake, he didn’t seem alright.

Genor lay quietly in the corner, head rested against Ripred.

Jexus moaned slightly. None of his wounds were serious, but they all stung like crazy, and there were loads of them all over his back.

Anne was sleeping peacefully under Chai’s wing, with bags under her eyes

“Are you alright?” Onora asked. She rubbed her eyes tiredly, trying to stand—more like balance on her one leg.

08:49

Chai was awake. Sitting there as she gave Anne warmth. “Underlander, are you awake?” She asked softly.

Jexus glanced over at her, decided that fighting her about not trying to walk would be too much effort and nodded slowly.

Anne woke up, she slowly opened her eyes, eyes that had no soul, and nodded her head “ how are the others?”

She examined her bond slowly before sitting back down. Her back ached some, hopefully it was just a scratch she has received over night. “Do you—Uh feel alright to fly? We may as well get food for the others.”

08:52

Chai had looked down at Anne before backing up, letting her have some space. “I am not to sure.”

Anne looked around to see Onora and Jexus, awake with cuts and bruises from last night. She wanted to go over there to see if they were alright, but didn’t because of the pressure on her body, weighing her down (edited)

Chai’s expression had flickered as she looked around the tunnel. It was dry, no water or food was going to be located within this tunnel. She would make a proposal once the others were to get up.

(Bro thats sad)

(How?)

(There’s np food and EVERYONE loves food

)

(Just us bro) (edited)

(Jk tho it isn’t sad haha)

08:58

(Oh well THATS sad but understandable)

Jexus groaned, but then struggled to his feet. "I can fly for a short while. Jump on."

Onora had nodded. She stood up, hopping over to Jexus. She climbed on, fixing her legs around either side of him. (edited)

(foot)

(Legs)

09:04

(She only got one foot, two legs)

09:04

Chai had noticed Jexus about to ascend into the air. She grabbed Anne and told her to hop on. The flier wanted to see what they were up to.

Jexus noticed how unsteadily Onora was holding onto him "I will fly as steadily as I can." he said, before launching off and heading down the tunnel.

(Wait nope hold on)

Chai let the pair go a little further then she wanted. She launched into the air, being slower so they weren’t to hear them.

09:08

Onora nodded, brushing her hair back. She didn’t want to distract Jexus, because of his one eye. She kept quiet.

“Chai, why are we to follow them?”Anne was *confused to why we need to keep an eye with them. But then remembered that they are flying... injured. “Why are they flying? They are clearly injured,” she whispered into Chai’s ear (edited)

Jexus flew for around half an hour. He slowed down suddenly. "I can hear a stream up ahead. That means fresh water, and perhaps fish."

“Because,” She said softly, she tried to keep up with Jexus. “They have found the foods.”

09:14

Onora had nodded. “I brought something with me, I can’t tell if it’s useful or not.” She said, holding out a small thing. It was round, with a sharp point at the end.

Anne looked up to see that they weren’t in the air anymore, but down onto the ground “Chai look down they are near the stream” signaling to land (edited)

Jexus shrugged. "I do not know what that is."

09:20

(brb gotta shower)

(Kk)

09:20

Chai landed on a ledge quietly.

09:23

She watched the pair fly, leading them to food.

(I wonder how his shower is)

09:24

(Okay that’s kinda creepy and stalkerishy nvm please ignore that)

(wth)

(I’m sorry)

(U fine bro)

(Nah it fine

09:29

Anne and Chai landed on ground, Near the ledge of the cave “ hm, looks like they have found food for all of us” (edited)

(What food is there?)

(Fish and water

)

(Man I love eating that juicy WATER)

Chai had nodded, she threw Anne off the side of her and let her sit on the ledge. “They haven’t begun to fish yet.” (edited)

(Do you mind if you pretend like I was on one of the bats on the wya here?)

(Sure)

Genor was searching his bag ~~for the fishing poles he hopefully thought of~~ And pulled out three.

(Hahahaha)

(Wiat you fish with poles in the Underland)

09:33

(Right?)

(Yes I think)

(Crap we need bait for that) (edited)

(my shower was really good thanks for asking)

(Your welcome)

09:36

(Okay so screw poles we’ll just catch the fish with our hands)

09:36

(Effective 100)

09:37

Genor threw the poles into the conveniently place death hole of fire and jumped into the river and attempted to catch fish.

(iQ 1000000)

Congratulations, @Hollo.231, you've fulfilled 7 prophecies!

(Congrats!) (edited)

(Thx bros)

(Wow I’m bad at typing)

09:38

(Wait being a rager makes catching fish a lot easier right?)

(no)

09:38

(use a spear)

(Dang it)

09:38

(Where would we get a spear???)

09:39

(I don’t see no tree)

09:39

(Or a sword?)

(Wait so MOST of us don’t have any weapons? Just wanna know)

(No we all have a sword)

(Ok)

(I think all of Onoras golden daggers are cracked though)

09:40

(Are they?)

(Welp that sucks and idk)

09:41

(I’ll ask)

(Yeah she found. Spear)

(Oh okay)

Onora sat atop of Jexus, watching Genor jump down into the stream. To be honest, the idea wasn’t the smartest.

After ten minutes of wrestling around for fish, he finally emerged. “I got one!” He screamed in joy, only to have it slip from his hands and swam away.

09:47

“Oh”

Anne chuckled. She loved how hard Genor tried to catch that one little fish “Genor, do you need some help over there!” she yelled out

@DrBracewell)

(yes?)

She looked down. “Should we help them?”

Jexus grinned slightly, and coasted in to land. "You can try."

Onora smiled slowly. “You want me to try to swim with one leg?”

"I believe in you." Jexus said, before landing in the cool water.

She rolled her eyes as she stepped into the cool water.

Gener emerged with another fish, this time in his mouth, and spit it onto land. “Yes!”

Anne chuckled “ I am so proud of you Genor, hope that one doesn’t flop away though”

It flopped away, but Genor didn't notice.

10:16

Genor tried raging in an attempt to capture more fish, but it only made him tired and frustrated. (edited)

10:19

He walked out of the water in anger."IM DONE! I would rather starve than do this." Genor mumbled to himself. (edited)

Anne looked at Genor and gave him a small smile “ it’s okay, I’ll help you catch one.” Anne looked back at the stream. She stepped into the steam and pulled out her sword “ sorry little fishies, your deaths will not be in vain,” Anne launches her sword to the water. 5, she caught 5 fishes all at once (edited)

Genor looked at Anne and sputtered. "Fi..Five? How??"

10:35

He pulled out his sword and stuck it into the water, but with no success.

Anne chuckled and smiled at Genor “ well I am in Luxa’s army and she does send us on missions that take for days to complete,” She went over to Genor and patted his back “Don’t worry though, I can teach you how to catch multiple fishes at once,” giving him a small smile

Genor mumbled in jealously, but walked up to the stream, ready to learn how.

Jexus had been staring into the water, but with a sudden jerk he forced his head down, catching large fish in his mouth, which he promptly swallowed whole. (edited)

(Wait can you even do that)

11:14

(Aren't like bones and them getting stuck in your throat and killing you like a thing)

Onora had grabbed the stick she brought and stuck it in the water with her. A fish swam by, she swiftly speared it.

Genor attempted to stab an oncoming fish with his sword, but accidentally hit his toe, pricking it.

11:17

(oof wow Genor you SUCK)

Anne couldn’t help but laugh. she walked over to Genor and put her hand on his shoulder “ be careful with that sword, or your gonna prick yourself.” Anne held onto Genor’s sword “ here, what you want to do is stand still, like a tree. Then, when the fish comes very close to you, wait for a few seconds and then, ‘BAM!’ you caught the fish!”

Genor walked into the water, and stood still for a good minute, waiting for the fish. As soon as it came by, he struck down with the sword and managed to catch one, all while pricking his other foot. "YES!" Genor screamed in delight, who couldn't be bothered about his now bleeding toe. (edited)

Smokeswirl woke up from her troubled dreams, whiskers twitching. The scent that she had been catching was even stronger, but she couldn't place it still. - Demeter lifted her head, as she was watching the others fish. Her ears were pricked, moving around to catch any small noise. "Something is heading towards us. From the south."

17:07

"It sounds like wingbeats. But... not Crusher wings. Softer."

(oh snap)

(So what)

17:17

(Oh we have to find that out)

17:17

(Okay)

17:18

(Gasp Is it the moths?)

(we'll find out when enough people reply lmao)

(Ib)

Jexus returned from his fishing trip and noticed Demeters worried face. “What is it?” he asked quietly.

"Something is coming." She whispered again.

Jexus’ ears pricked up. He noticed it now. “Ready up!” he called to the awake members of the group.

Sky drew again and got ready for action. The last three are a last resort. "Ready" (edited)

From one end of the tunnel, what looked like a cloud floated in. Though, when it grew closer, it was obvious that it was no cloud. A single, large moth, a bit smaller than a Flier. It was white and tan, with huge black eyes and feathery antennae. It was like nothing Demeter had seen before.

Jexus started as he stared at the newcomer. He had seen flutterflies before, but never one quite like this.

The moth landed several feet away from the group, folding its wings against its fluffy body. Its antennae wiggled.

Jexus glanced at Demeter, silently debating which one of them would speak first. With a sigh Jexus opened his mouth. “Who are you?”

"I am Floss, sent by the Kingdom when you were spotted in our caves. We hope that you come in peace, unlike the others of your kind who passed through weeks before. We extend our wings in greeting." The moth spoke in a soft voice, almost hard to hear. It was like the faint tingling of bells.

(Is my boy still asleep)

(if you want him to be)

(Okay can Demeter wake him up lol)

Jexus nodded. “We mean you no harm, and would be honoured to meet you.” he frowned. “Others of our kind?” (edited)

18:25

(Howard is trying so hard right now not to make a pun about teeth.)

Floss fluttered, seeming to be pleased with Howard's answer. "A small group of those creatures passed through. They attacked and killed many of us, as we have few defenses." As they mentioned 'those creatures,' Floss beckoned to Smokeswirl and the other Gnawers with one leg. - Demeter lightly shook Michael awake, pointing the moth with her wing's claw.

Michael quietly gasped, and looked at the creature worriedly.

Jexus turned to Smokeswirl. “Why would a small group of Gnawers be heading towards the crushers?”

(Guys we should have a flutterfly become a permanent character)

(I plan to have a few offer to carry stuff/people for us)

18:32

Smokeswirl looked back to Jexus. "Those were the same Gnawers who passed through a while ago and first met the Crushers."

(uh they definetly might "NOT" be headed by Coilthroat, and definetly "NOT" going to try and team up") (edited)

(Oh no not this)

(3katsiMe pls explain Coilthroat origins now)

(And Why is getting colder the deeper in we go? Shouldn’t it be getting Hotter?)

Demeter smiled at the moth. "The Gnawers who attacked you are not with us. We do not associate, and we would be glad to have an alliance with you."

(I will probably today but I can’t just burst out and say it)

(glaciers)

(You have to ease it in)

18:33

(Oh yeah okay)

(If you want everyone to know just say it)

(no u see i dont want to steal 3katsiMe's thunder) (edited)

Congratulations, @Ewfawfa (Nexus/Coilthroat/Chloe), you've fulfilled 10 prophecies!

(hooray im important)

(I don’t think he wants thunder)

(No if you really want to say it)

18:34

(I hate thunder)

(srry mean lightning)

(I hate that too)

(it was ur idea anyway)

18:34

(ok fine storm then)

(Yeah but....)

18:35

(I mean I’ll do it later)

(k)

18:35

(ill just beat up Shredder in the mean time)

Jexus nodded along with Demeter, but the conversation had fizzled out. “So... what do we do now?”

(I like how you guys dont even care about Shredder)

18:36

(like she is an actual character and you guys decide to make alliance with Floss) (edited)

(Plus I have homework to do today, I was out for three days and we had two tests I have homework so I probably won’t even have time to do it)

(I wasn't there when shredder got kidnapped but didn't know how to bring it up)

(So say it if you want)

(She)

(o yeah)

(We have a mission shredder can care for herself.)

Floss fluttered their wings. "I will bring you to the Kingdom, if you will come. Are your injured able to travel?"

(ok you know wut im just going to prove my point)

(She’s ties up in a web but yeah Ewfawfa wouldn’t kill her)

18:38

(Right)

18:38

(Because you cant)

(But he definitely would if he could)

(kill who)

(Shredder)

Jexus glanced around. At Onora’s missing leg, Michael subtly reaching for the painkillers, Sky lying on his stomach clutching his back. “We may take some time to get ready, but we would be honoured to stay with you.”

(oh)

18:39

(ill just scar her for life tho)

(Yeah sure have fun)

(You can’t like change their personality)

Gebor spoke from Demeters back. “Michael, don’t you dare take more Painkillers.”

(Gebor)

(Michael ur a originally from the overland right)

(Yeah)

(Yesh)

"I can send for others to carry you, if it is too difficult. We are not far." Floss offered.

Jexus didn’t want too pushy, but even he realised they could hardly move in their current state. “If you have people to spare, but please do not go to any trouble.”

The moth didn't reply, but turned away. It moved its wings in odd patterns, flashing the small markings of circles and lines into the open tunnel. A few moths, grey as the stone, seemed to melt out of the walls. They must have been there for a while. Four landed around Floss.

18:48

Smokeswirl was taken aback, briefly baring her teeth at the insects. But she backed down, trying to appear less intimidating.

Jexus frowned slightly. He sensed something was off here, but began helping the injured onto the moths’ backs.

(Hey um, why would there be so many moths waiting there)

18:49

(its like if things didnt go well, they would attack or something...)

(you can't just send one moth there alone, what if they got beat up!)

Genor immediately rolled off Demeter and fell one of the moths, startling it but not tripping it over. “Sorry,” he half mumbled before going back to sleep.

(honestly, do they think you guys would tho)

(Well I mean like it’s working so HUSH)

(half you guys are sleeping or mutilated)

(I forgot demeter had genor lol)

(Poor Genor)

(I’m sorry, I didn’t know which bat I was on so I assumed it was Demeter)

18:51

(Should’ve asked)

(How is Genor coping with Shredder's loss)

Everyone was soon safely riding one creature or another, and the moths and fliers took off, following Floss eastward.

(Meh)

(oof)

18:52

(Ill have to make sure to kidnap a more prominent character next time)

18:52

(WITH THEIR CONSENT DR. BRACEWELL)

Floss led the group down the tunnel, and in around half an hour, the tunnel opened up very suddenly. A huge, round cavern filled their view. Greyish vines covered the walls, decorated with little white flowers. Their breaths were clearly visible in the cold air. Clinging to the vines, and fluttering in the air, were hundreds of large moths.

18:56

Demeter fluttered gleefully in the open air. "It is a beautiful place."

Howard was frowning slightly. “Why is it so cold.” he asked the nearest moth.

Genor shuddered a bit as he rocked side to side. “It’s getting a little cold down here...” (edited)

(Who am I on) (edited)

Jexus was amazed at the size and beauty of the cave, but still didn’t fully trust Floss and her kind. “Do you have a leader?” he asked Floss.

(A moth)

(Should I hop in)

(Feel free!)

(Sure I guess your flying on Jexus)

(But weren’t we all on moths?)

(Not everyone)

(no the fliers have people too)

(Oh okay)

Onora was flying quietly.

Floss looked to Howard. "We are located near many large ice formations in the earth. And we do not have a leader, but make our decisions as a group. We rarely run into other species', and most of our disputes are small. We need no leader." The moth explained in their soft voice.

(No ur not Jexus is flying stop stealing his thunder all ur doing is riding him)

Genor chuckles. “A democracy? Well that’s new.”

(I just imagine SpongeBob from that episode where his pants inflate as Onora)

Jexus nodded slowly, and followed Floss towards a large ledge they seemed about to land on.

(Th)

19:03

Onora had slowly followed, unsure of what to do at the moment.

They all lit gently on the ledge. The stone-colored moths dropped their riders, and fluttered off into the cavern. "Feel free to spend the time you need here, and ask as many questions as you have. I will remain with you in case you have necessities to be filled." Floss twitched their antennae.

Howard cleared his throat. “Do you have... uh... any medical supplies? We are running dangerously low.* (edited)

(We are are)

“Didn’t you just get a new kit?”

(SHH It was small okay)

(But you said it was huge with new vials and bandages)

19:09

(And medicine)

19:09

(10 packs of painkillers)

19:09

(Wait Michael ate all the painkillers) (edited)

((Michel used all the painkillers and we used a lot of the vials/bandages with Onora)

Floss stared for a second. "Our cocoons are akin to the texture of your bandages. But we do not have any sort of medicine. I apologize."

“An NO. And I mean NO more painkillers for Michael.” Genor said, still salty with the tremendous show of strength from Micahel and him overpowering him. (edited)

Howard nodded slowly. “I see, perhaps we could have some of your cocoons then?”

(Michael is based off of me 3katsiMe)

19:11

(He’s not that strong lol) (edited)

(I know that’s why I’m SALTY)

19:12

(Cause he’s based off me except not ugly and he LOST)

(You’re not ugly my dude)

(Oh yes you are don’t listen to him)

(Yeah ur indian)

(Everyone tell Ekatsime He’s not ugly and believe me he isn’t

)

(...)

(Indians are mildly good in the looks) (edited)

19:13

(Right 3katsiMe)

"I will fetch the discarded cocoons." Floss fluttered off into the cavern, returning after a few minutes with several large, silken cocoons on their back.

(lol)

19:13

(that came out wrong)

19:13

(shi) (edited)

Howard accepted the silky fabric from the moth, then thanked them profusely. “This is perfect, thank you,” (edited)

"We are glad to assist." The moth moved out of the way on the ledge, sitting still on the stone and staring off into the cavern.

Jexus addressed the group. “Okay, now we all need to sleep. Everyone get some rest, heal up. We still have a long way to go.” (edited)

(Your Indian too)

(Yeah so am I)

(yea)

(I’m sorry Michael since when are you Indian)

Demeter lay awkwardly on the ground, wishing that she could cling to the roof of the cave like normally. But she was still uncertain that everyone was safe.

(And Bro you liar I am the ugliest piece of [insertdeadlandwordhere] EVER)

Jexus lowered his voice. “I’m still not sure about these creatures, we should still have a watch. I can take first shift.” he said, despite his back aching terribly.

(alright fine)

19:17

(I confess 3katsiMe is the ugliest person I have met)

19:18

(ha I was joking about indians)

Smokeswirl went to lie down, but stood up. "Floss. Do you know of a species called Prowlers?"

(well nvm i mean just 3katsiMe)

19:18

(there happy?)

(Yeah)

Jexus’ ears pricked up as he heard Smokeswirls and Floss’ conversation, and he moved closer to listen.

(see mikl we are great friends)

The moth grew still, fluttering their wings. They did not answer for a dragging minute. "No, not the Prowlers... Do not bring them to us... Not the Prowlers..." Floss seemed to be whispering, in an even quieter tone than their normal speaking voice.

Genor was in the corner trying to remind Ripred how to talk to no avail. The white, blank, helpless eyes just stared back at him and watching him helplessly explain something to him. (edited)

Jexus frowned, and moved towards Floss. He didn’t want to alarm her, but she seemed to know about them. “Do... do you know of them? Can you tell us anything?”

Onora had caught Jexus staring at the moth. She didn’t know the moths name, since she was so zoned out. But she listened.

Genor, quitting his futile attempt to take his mind of Shredder moved into the conversation, now curious.

Floss' body shook at the name. "Please... Do not make us remember the Prowlers..."

Genor rested his hand on the Moth. “Please, it could save the Underland.”

(Gosh darn it now we have to wait longer D:)

Jexus glanced around, and motioned for everybody to move back and give Floss some space. He noticed Genor talking to her and fell silent.

The moth brushed its antennae together. "They kept us once... We were their... Their..." The moth struggled to find a word for what they were.

Jexus was staring intently at the moth now, and barely noticed as Onora sidled up beside him.

Genors voice slightly shook. “We have lost so much, I have even lost my... bond of some sort. I’m sorry if it pains you to do so, but there may be no Underland in as soon as tomorrow, and we must know this. Please” (edited)

“Prisoners?” Howard suggested softly.

"They used us for... food, and work. They made us work and ate us when we could not..."

“Slaves?”

19:26

“Food?”

19:26

“Servants?”

“Bedtime snacks?”

(Woah let’s slow down there)

Howard gently approached Floss. “This must be terrible for you, but any information helps us. What do they look like?”

“So—they made you their slaves.” Onora clarified. She looked at the others quietly.

Floss shuddered, struggling to speak more. - Demeter placed a wing on the moth's back. "Be gentle with your questions. Give them time."

Genor looked at Onora. “I think they used them for food also... such terrible ways of life.”

Howard nodded and took a step back.

Floss spoke again. "They looked like that. But... Longer." The moth pointed a leg at the Gnawers again.

Genor stood up. “Do you think they could have been... panthers?”

(ferrets)

Howard frowned, trying to picture it in is mind.

19:29

(What actually are they?)

(Idk)

(ohhhh)

He gulped at the idea. Giant, ten foot long panthers.

(DONKEYS)

(Hamsters)

(they're weasels!)

(they are donkeys)

(No way)

(so cute, so vicious)

Image attachment

(oh yeaH) (edited)

((I’m so turned on))

Image attachment

(IM SO TURNED ON)

(SO HOT, YET SMART AND VICIOUS)

(Guys there are no crusher or prowler OCs)

(SEXY)

(I feel the aroused)

(Yeah, we made them up)

(Okay yeah I guess technically all of them are OCs but STILL)

(No rule against it)

(They’re made up, just like the love my parents have for me)

(So Saint George killer a dragon, Hiccup tamed a dragon, Daenerys raised a dragon and donkey...) (edited)

(Exactly. Nice point.)

(No rule against what)

(Yup)

19:32

(OOOOOOOhhhh)

19:32

(Id love to be a donkey)

19:33

(Just imagine that)

19:33

(A donkey rager)

(can some of these messages go in #roleplay-chat to reduce clutter)

19:34

(hol on i gotta go for a bit)

(Aww how long?)

(Nuu)

(A few mins)

(O okay)

(I’ll miss you)

(Back)

(Did you have fun?)

(no)

(Oh)

(anyway its any of your turns now, so uh um uh)

Howard began asking Floss simple questions about the Prowlers, but there was one big one weighing on his mind, “How did you escape?” he asked finally.

"Yes, and did you beat them in battle in any way? Any strategy would be useful." Genor added

(Can someone throw me in?)

(Idk where wolf went)

(He ran away I freaked her out) (edited)

(sorrey I died also I am a women)

Congratulations, @Lenn, you've fulfilled 19 prophecies!

(You are a plural women)

(For the last time she’s a girl)

(Im sorry I know that)

20:36

(im just sexist im sorry)

(Gotta respect those wamen)

"We escaped in small numbers many years ago. Group by group. They did not have much reason to chase us. These were our original breeding grounds, and so we returned."

“Really? How long did it take you? A... fortnight?” (edited)

(You son of a fork)

(Get it cause their name is floss and fortnight means two weeks)

(YOU SON OF A FORK) (edited)

(I’m gonna yeet myself off a roof)

(oh my god i forgot that existed)

(Megan wait for me)

20:39

"And do you not fear they would come back to you to make you their food or slaves?" Genor asked politely, knowing that this could shake them up.

(How can I be useful in the current rp?)

(Feel free to join in with the disscussion? It seems like the best way.)

Floss shuddered. "They are not close to us. But we fear it. We fear it each passing day."

Edwynn swooped in on Cass, lightly jumping off and landing next to Michael and Genor. Greetings! I have brought fish. What has transpired in my absence? She asked in a cheerful tone.

"I'm sure you'll be fine, and if they do come back, we'll help you, right?" Edwynn's sudden appearence startled him. (edited)

"You will... help us?" Floss looked genuinely surprised.

Genor nodded towards Edwynn. “Yes... erm it seems like we may have found the key to saving the Underland.”

20:49

Genor looked at Floss in surprise. “Of course! Do not mistaken us for those wretched pounders, we will help and protect you.”

Edwynn raises an eyebrow. Interesting. Her eyes land on Floss. Greetings, I am called Edwynn. (edited)

"I am Floss."

Pleasure to meet you. She Replied, nodding her head.

Demeter nodded at the moth. "Thank you for your assistance with this."

(yo wouldnt it be a plot twist if coilthroat walks in and the moths already know him and are friends with him)

20:57

(that would be pretty weird) (edited)

(And it also won't happen)

(nah the moths are sweeties)

(what are pounders)

Smokeswirl relaxed slightly. She didn't despise the moths. They were quiet, and answered her questions. "Is it possible for someone to assist with my bandages?" They were growing dirtied and displaced, and she worried that they may become infected. She despised asking for help, but had no other choice. If only she had hands.

Howard sighed, but went over to Smokeswirl. He took of a couple bandages, then exhaled in relief. “These cuts are almost healed. I will clean them, but you will not need any more bandages.” he told her, reaching for a cloth and some peroxide.

(Should Onora jump in?)

(Sure why not)

Smokeswirl audibly sighed with relief. As the bandages were removed, she noticed a bounty of new scars. A long time ago, she may have felt insecure about that. But she no longer cared how marred her pelt was. (edited)

Howard cleaned up Smokeswirl, then went to check on Onora’s leg. The stump was healing well, so he rebandaged it and gave her some more painkillers.

(attie if you want you could have onora interact with smokeswirl #noleggang)

( oh yeah)

After Onora’s, Howard looked at Demeter’s chest wound. He unwrapped it, and grimaced. There was no sign of infection, but the cut looked inflamed and some of the stitches and popped.

(#nolegsgang)

Demeter winced at the wound. "I see that I moved it around in flight. I apologize."

Howard shook his head. “It’s not your fault. You have to fly in that position. I could try restitching it, but it is likely to tear again whenever you fly next.” Howard finally decided to just rewrap it as tightly as he could and hope it healed soon.

Onora had looked at Smokeswirl. “The—leg thing. Will it get any easier?” She asked.

(OH MY GOD)

21:20

(IM USING DISCORD LIGHT MODE AND THIS SHOULD BE ILLEAGEAL) (edited)

21:20

(CRAP WRONG CHAT SORRY)

(shoot i'm late for dinner shoot shoot)

21:21

(be back)

21:22

(Wait no I have time)

21:23

Demeter looked down. "I suppose that means I am grounded." - Smokeswirl eyed Onora's leg. She had a variety of options. Lie, and say it was easy, or tell the complicated truth. "It will if you make an effort. But it will never be the same."

“Alright. Do you have any—exercises to do, that maybe help?” Onora asked, studying her leg.

(okay NOW i have to eat dinner)

(Okay have fun)

21:29

Genor tilted his head at Onora. "What kind of exercises? My dad was one-legged for a while before he.... You know what never mind. But nothing in the under land can help you Onora, I'm sorry."

She nodded. “You’re fine.”

Genor nodded back, but he feel like he broke a potential friendship again. "Dang it Genor, always ruining stuff with your attitude." He said quietly to himself.

“Exercises? I don’t know. Staying alive is one. Move or die is how I learned.” Smokeswirl shrugged, remembering her experience.

Genor laughed quietly in his mind, but was determined to stop being so rude in the open to make more friends.

Onora laughed. “I guess that’s about it down here.”

(And snuggling with Howard)

22:07

(And more intense implied snuggling with Howard)

(I'm sorry did I kill the rp'ing mood)

(Nah I think everyone’s just done for tonight)

(Oh okay good night)

22:20

(And go to sleep Dr)

22:20

(Please I'm worried for your mental health now)

(So am I)

(Please and Howard needs a break from every night just go to sleep)

22:21

(Like legitimately concerned lack of sleep does alot)

(But I’m not losing sleep!!!!)

(Still! I think your parents would be worried)

(So your sleeping from 5-12?)

(I went to bed at 3am yesterday and woke at 1pm)

22:23

(Fine I’ll go bed now night y’all)

(Good. Gn!!)

(Yes but it doesn't matter if your sleep patter is not consistent)

22:24

(Okay, goodnight!)

22:24

(And I am the biggest hypocrite to be telling you this) (edited)

(I can be on for a bit longer if anyone wants to rp)

(I mean my teacher decided to be a big meanie and delete all my work and Im waiting for her to text me "Its not my fault you were sick, you should have chosen a better time to be sick.")

22:52

(Sorry im just venting)

22:52

(Yeah, im up to rp)

(cool! feel free to start imma pop into the shower and get back to ya)

(Okay Ive been hearing about this shower thing)

22:52

(What is it? :0)

22:54

Genor decided to open his mind and try to befriend Smokeswirl. "Hey, how's it going?"

(Guys I can rp I’m here)

(yay)

(Can you guys ping me when it starts)

(Sure) (edited)

Smokeswirl gave Genor an odd look. "Is that the Overlander way of saying 'How are you?' I have heard the Overlanders say it, but I do not understand." She avoided the question with her own.

(Lol how can I join)

(I dunno ;-;)

Genor noticed, as he was sure she was used to the overland slang. "Yes, but I think you know that by now. Neverthelss, how are you?"

23:12

(Ummm pretend to be a crackhead again)

(I don’t like crackhead Michael anymore) (edited)

(Awwww okay)

"I fare fine. My injuries are healing, and I no longer need to wear the bandages." She beckoned to the discarded pile with a flick of her tail.

"And how is everyone else? Has anything major emotional traumatic happen since?" Genor said, looking to poor Ripred, now looking blankly at a wall. (edited)

(Okay that’s a lie we just have had too much of him for now)

23:15

(Also Ripred’s memories are gonna recover right?)

(Yeah just leave him in the corner)

23:15

(Eventually)

(Okay)

Smokeswirl eyed him for a moment. "You are very different from the way you were before." She noted that his rude demeanor had vanished. He was almost likable.

Michael, having nothing to do, bit some of the excess skin off of his finger. He rubbed his eyes.

Genor nodded. "Yes, well I didn't have much of a personality in the overland. I talked to no one except playfully mess around with the rats. They did seem to adore me..." (edited)

"Overland rats, do you mean?"

"Yes, very small and dumb compared to the ones here. And-" He turned to Michael. "How's it going? Our talk was interrupted by your... painkillers."

Smokeswirl almost chuckled at the idea of a tiny, stupid rat. She could imagine its human equivalent. "Yes, Michael, please never touch those again."

comfort

Michael gave him a sideways glance. “What painkillers?”

"Well, do you know about crack in the overland? It had... that kind of effect on you." Genor said, worried even farther if he couldn't remember anything.

“What are you talking about?”

23:21

(It wasn’t that bad he was just really giggly)

"You took painkillers for your leg, and you were pretty far gone. We could barely do anything to keep you from dying from falling onto your face once every few seconds." (edited)

“Oh. I don’t remember any of that. The last thing I remember, besides today, is fighting the crushers with you.”

Genor smiled at him. At least that was something.

23:25

(oh snap i left it at a bad place)

23:25

(one sec i think i gtg)

23:25

(ummmm)

"Genor." Smokeswirl said, the thought suddenly striking her. "What of that Gnawer you showed up with? The one who was taken? Do you believe her dead?"

“Why would she be-“ Michael took a look around and noticed she was missing.

Genor's smile fell and silenced. "Excuse me, I feel sleepy, and would perfer to be watching over Ripred anyway." Genor said with a little more snide to his voice. (edited)

23:26

Genor walked away.

Smokeswirl could tell she had hit a nerve, though she did not drop the subject. "She was your friend?"

(Okay goodnight if it turns out sleeping is not someting i need ill explain it)

(oho okay)

Michael sighed. Things were derailing. Their mission was failing. No crushers they were jailing.

(wow r u sandwich)

(Yes)

23:32

(May I speak to Demeter pls I don’t think Smokeswirl wants to talk to me)

(suree)

23:33

The conversation woke Demeter up, and she pulled herself up. Her claws instinctively grabbed at the bandages on her chest.

“Hi, Demeter,” he said, smiling slightly.

(Wait one second do you want to hear the backstory of Coilthroat? And if so, in or out of the story context?)

(Idk?)

(in context if you will! but either works)

(Wait your having a convo with Demeter, I’ll let you finish up)

"Hello." Demeter said, grooming her fur momentarily. "I assume that all has been well in the time I slept. Have our hosts shared anything else about the Prowlers?"

“No, they haven’t.”

(Okay guys goodnight, have fun rp’ing)

(Thanks, gn)

(And once again, thanks Michael) (edited)

(No u)

(Well

23:41

(Can’t argue with that)

"Oh," Demeter said, glancing over to Floss, who seemed to be sleeping. "I feel very bad for them. They seemed very shaken up to even hear mention of the Prowlers." She spoke softly, as to not alert the wakeful moths that fluttered around.

“Yeah, imagine how much of a mark that must leave on you.”

23:45

(Lol you type a paragraph I type a sentence)

23:45

(I think I’m gonna go to bed, good night everybody)

(same, gn)

Genor sighed from the corner. "Yes, although she was more than a friend. She was, kind of a bond, I think you call it in the Underland. She was the closest I have ever been to someone, and she was just like the rats in the Overland so I felt comfortable around her. I could open up to her, and Coilthroat just snatched her away from me just like he snatched her parents and-" Genor groaned in frustration. (edited)

17:17

(Replying a little late to Smokeswirls "Shes a friend?")

Smokeswirl looked at him with slight pity in her eyes. "Maybe they kept her alive." She said quietly. - "I am sorry, Genor. Losing someone so close must have hurt." Demeter said. (edited)

"And it's even harder for the fact that I don't want to hate him, its not even his fault for being this way." Genor looked at her and realized something. "And you don't know about Coilthroats story, do you?" (edited)

Michael looked up, intrigued, but remained silent.

"No, none of us do." Demeter answered.

Genor sighed. "It was a type of plant they found while roaming around in The Underland a hundred years ago or so. They found it, and took it back to their lands. The presence of it was only disclosed to few, as they discovered it contained properties to turn the Gnawers into indestructible rats, and were always left with a thirst for blood. They were burnt away, and its dangerous side effects were lost with it. Now, it was rediscovered a few years and they put on a few Gnawers, (hoping to let that have a one-up in with the Underlanders) one of them being Coil, already a well-known rager in the Gnawer Lands. It turned him into a savage beast, and his already-rager powers let him have a one up on all the others and quickly murdered all the other rats that knew about this project in cold blood. His fur almost impenetrable, and his skin as think as Rubber. He could run at incredible speeds, and leap great heights. He quickly went rogue and abandoned the rats and left to some more powerful creatures. But, Shredder's parents were one of the Gnawers experimenting with this, and they died in front of Shredders eyes. And now he has her too.." He trailed off again, his eyes beginning to well with tears once more. (edited)

17:36

(Okay I think thats it)

17:36

(I THINK)

17:36

(Nope thats it)

"That is... terrible." Demeter whispered. "What was Coilthroat like before he was like this?"

"No. He may have been a rager, but not a monster. He was even Shredder's parent's friend of some sort."

"He must have some sort of weakness." Smokeswirl said, furrowing her brow.

"Oh yes he does. A gold dagger can penetrate his skin and counter react with the toxins in his body, either killing him off or making him a normal rat. But even with out it-" Genor shook his head. "Some say even without his "powers", his rager skills are those of Ripred's and we know that he isn't up to walking properly, much less raging."

"Ripred... will he ever heal?" Demeter said softly.

Genor shook his head. "I don't know. Only time will tell."

Demeter sighed. "I hope he will." - "Onora has golden weapons. But without Ripred, we're hopeless. Why does he even hate him so much, anyway?" Smokeswirl questioned. Ripred could be annoying, but this hatred was deeper. (edited)

(WHat)

17:48

(Hate Ripred?)

(why does coilthroat hate ripred was her question)

(Oh okay)

17:50

"He knows what Ripred can do. He beat him multiple time before the "operation" went into effect. While gold is rare in the underland, it isn't in the Overland. And he knew taking out Ripred could almost diminish our chances."

17:52

(Wait is gold rare in the Underland?)

"I see. But Ripred is unable to fight now. What does he want with Shredder? She didn't do the experiments." Smokeswirl said, cocking her head.

"He doesn't want anything with her specifically, just wants us to go to her so he can kill us all off. He assumes that we are can easily be defeated in our current state, so he is toying with us."

(probably not but we can say it is)

17:58

Demeter gulped. "Toying with us." She said quietly.

Michael sighed. The last thing they needed.

18:01

(Is Smokeswirl gonna stay with us forever)

(yea i like rping as her)

(Yay)

18:04

(What about Demeter)

(same situation with her)

(Yay)

Jexus slowly raised his head. “What he did back there...” he began slowly. “that was toying with us?”

Genor shook his head. “This is all a big game to him.”

Smokeswirl lashed her tail. "I don't think hating him would be that much of a crime."

Genor paused for a moment, “No, I supposed it wouldn’t be.”

18:21

Genor then looked around to the Moths. “Do you have any food that we could take? I’m famished.”

"We eat the vines and nectar from the flowers." Floss said. "Will you be able to take nourishment from that?"

"I don't think any of us can, unfortunately. But thank you for your assistance. Are there fish in the water below?" Demeter asked, beckoning to the wide stream of water that passed through the center of the cavern. "Yes, there are fish." The moth answered.

Genor moaned in annoyance as he wasn’t the greatest in fishing.

Jexus’ ears pricked up at this. He had only caught one fish earlier, and was still hungry. He slowly coasted down to the stream running through the cave, and began his technique of slowly waiting and watching before slamming down with his mouth.

Genor started jabbing at the fish below him, and caught five after a few minutes. He looked over to Jexus’ painfully slow way of fishing and had an idea. “Do you want my fish? I’m not that hungry anyway.”

18:54

(Sorry that took so long)

18:57

(Okay so @DrBracewell, you would sleep around now in UK school weekdays?) (edited)

Demeter fluttered down, scooping up a fish in her mouth and swallowing it. "These creatures are strange in their ways."

(I’m so confused no chewing or worry about the bones?)

Howard noticed Genor’s annoyance, grinned slightly, and decided to help him out. “I can get some fish for you.” Howard told him, as he picked up his sword and jumped on Nike. Howard glided down to the river, and began fishing the same way Anne had, sharply pulling his sword in and out of the water, impaling a multitude of fish on it.

(Wait is Jexus talking his fish?)

(most animals eat fish bones and all)

(Tryhards)

Jexus shook his head before catching a particularly large fish and swallowing it whole. “My ones are bigger.” he grinned. And besides, you said you were famished. You need to eat, regain your strength. You could probably even cook them.”

Genor smiles and continued to stab and noticed Howard’s offer. “No, I’m okay. I’m mostly getting fish for Ripred anyway. He needs nutrition.”

Sky groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.

Howard shrugged, and pushed the seven fish he had managed to catch already into a bag. “Suit yourself, I guess. I’ll take these back and cook them for the rest of the humans.” (edited)

comfort

(I’m getting better at spotting when virtual Ripred will respond)

19:12

Howard spent a few more minutes impaling fish until he had a large pile, then jumped back on Nike and returned to their small camp. He managed to start a fire and began roasting the fish on a makeshift spit.

19:13

Howard noticed Sky awakening, and rushed over. “Hey, take it easy. Do not try to get up. You were wounded in the back, but it is not deep. Just give it some time to heal.”

Genor, unsatisfied with his fifteen fish, kept on stabbing. “He hasn’t eaten in days. He needs somewhere around fifty.”

Jexus noticed Genor struggling, and after satisfying his own hunger he began tossing any fish he caught onto Genor’s pile, despite the wounds on his back stinging crazily.

19:15

Howard soon had a large basket of cooked fish, and he began slowly giving them out to anyone who needed any, beginning by passing some to Sky.

Genor arrived with his basket of 50 or so fish, attempted to feed them to Ripred whole. After a while of doing so with no success, he simply just started splitting them up into little pieces and feeding them each of those pieces, and continued doing it for all of 50 of his fish, a very long and painstaking process.

Howard glanced over at the scene; Ripred’s glazy eyes staring into nothing as Genor slowly put little chunks of fish in his mouth. Howard could see the pain in Genor’s face, but averted his eyes when Genor started to choke back tears. (edited)

(I am here)

(Yes)

Howard sidled over to Onora and offered her a couple fish. “Eat up, you need to regain your strength. We’ve still got a long way to go.*”

19:25

(Does Onora still have her daggers?)

(yes please do we need it to kill of Coilthroat)

Onora had nodded, pulling up her hair in a small rubber band. She took the slimy fish out of Howard’s hands, biting into it raw. She had spit out the scales that were on the fish, and ate the meat.

19:26

(No)

(No it’s cooked)

(Dang it please just have one?)

(We have FIRE!)

(i don't feel like finding gold....)

(Maybe ones just like broken or something)

(Yeah thats what I mean its not like a golden dagger exactly just gold)

(Oh shoot. Whoops)

(Also how does Onora have a rubber band but not a hairband? Surely they’re more common.)

(That’s what I meant. I just call them that

))

(Well your WRONG)

19:28

(jk im sorry pls dont kill me)

(So should a Onora still have a broken dagger?)

(I mean sure? I don’t really care if she does or not)

Jexus had returned from his fishing trip, and laid down next to Onora. “Hey,” he began “Do you still have those golden daggers?” (edited)

Smokeswirl sat near the group, eating many of the fish. She needed the strength. (edited)

19:33

Demeter fluttered into the circle around the fire, smiling. "Hello." She didn't take any fish, as she'd already caught some earlier.

Sky sat up and glanced around at the group. Where were they?

She nodded, pulling out one of the golden daggers. They were jacked up, pieces missing from the black. In all honesty, it just made the thing more lethal.

Jexus nodded approvingly, and filled her in on Coilthroat’s background. “... and Genor says that the only thing that can really hurt him is gold. So perhaps he should take your dagger for now?”

“I don’t really use it, I kinda need a new one anyway. So go ahead.” Onora said, her light violet eyes had reflected off the slightly damaged gold.

Genor walked back into the group. "Yes, we do. And do you have anymore fish? I need some food for me too."

(K gtg, be back in 10)

(K cya)

Jexus frowned. “See, I told you to get food for yourself too. Now I bet you’re going to leech off my stash.* he said, wrapping his wing defensively around the pile of fish he had collected. (edited)

19:38

Howard seemed to notice that Onora was worried. He realised that now Genor had taken her dagger, she was left weaponless. “Here,” he said, pulling a dirk out of his belt and handing it to her. “Take this. It’s better than nothing.”

(Im sorry wait I took her dagger)

(Yes)

(Oh okay Im sorry)

(It’s the only gold thing we have)

19:39

(So Genor took it.)

(Ill give it back to you if you want)

19:39

(Yeah but he should have asked)

(Jexus did it for him, and Onora said yes. Oof, I guess that scene was just a little awkward)

(Okay)

19:40

(Wow Genors a jerk again)

"Where are we?"

Howard returned to Sky, and gently spoke to him as he rewrapped his bandages. “We found some moths, or rather they found us, and now we’re resting in their home cave.” (edited)

Genor looked at the now-stirring Sky. "We are with the Moths. Or the Futterflys I guess." Genor said, slowly taking some of Jexus' fish without him noticing. (edited)

19:42

(Dang it Im sorry I got a new keyboard I cna usually type alot faster and this is throwing me off)

(*Sky. Gregors been up)

(Ohhh)

Sky nodded. "Giant moths.. why am I not suprised.." He muttered.

"Moths?" Demeter questioned.

Genor eventually took around 5 fish, and satisfied, ran away into the corner of the group.

Howard grinned slightly, the gently pushed Sky back down the the ground. “Do not try and sit up, your stitches are likely to break.”

(You just got theived Jexus)

(This is abuse you’re stealing from a disabled guy)

(Be quiet)

(He’s half blind)

(Thats not how it works)

19:47

(And I think the Underland itself is one walking child/animal-abuse circus) (edited)

Smokeswirl finished her fish, and silently crawled over to Ripred. He was laying just out of earshot from the group. She looked into his face, empty of all expression. She felt a pang of regret. "Uh, hey, Ripred. I know you can't hear me, but..." She glanced at the group, hoping they wouldn't hear. "I'm sorry. For attacking you. And being so cruel. You were just sick."

Howard left Sky lying on the ground, then went to check on Demeter’s chest. Her wing seemed to have healed nicely, but the chest wound seemed painful and severe. Howard eventually decided to resow it, hoping they wouldn’t be flying again for a while. He gave Demeter some painkillers and went to work, beginning the slow process of stitching up the large cut. (edited)

"So wake up, will you? So I can apologize for real."

19:49

Demeter winced, but didn't complain.

Howard tied off the last stitch, wiped away the blood and gave Demeter strict instructions to not stretch her chest or fly for at least a day. (edited)

Ripred mumbled something, his eyes turning to Smokeswirl, nodding his head. He stood up and immediatly fainted.

Smokeswirl's eyes widened. "Uh, he just moved." She called to the group.

Genor mumbled something incoherent, and hearing Smokeswirls cry, he jumped up over to him.

Demeter sighed, accepting that she wouldn't be able to fly. She'd just have to make herself comfortable for the time being. She'd already ignored his warning from the day before, flying down to catch fish.

human

He started shaking a new vial and shoved it into Ripred's mouth, and his chest immediately loosened and he started breathing. Genor sighed a sound of relief.

Howard gently patted her on the back, then went over to Nike and immediately fell asleep. It had been a long day.

Smokeswirl turned to Genor. "He said something, too, but I couldn't tell what."

(Back)

19:53

(What happened)

(Do you think bats do that thing that cats do where they’re not quite asleep but keep their eyes open and squint at you angrily?)

19:53

(Howard fixed people then went sleepy)

(Cool)

"He's getting better. The real gamble is how far will he get. He could get back to his normal self or simply stop healing to the point where he could only say a few words." Genor looked over to Smokeswirl's eye, tears emerging, and immediately fainting from stress and tiredness. (edited)

(Pffff you think you’re stressed, what about Howard?)

Onora had adjusted herself against the bolder. Her back itches angrily as she did, but was unable to reached it. She rubbed up and down on the rock with her back, the jagged edge soothing her itch. She probably looked stupid doing so.

19:55

Nike was happily asleep on a ledge, hanging upside down. It looked as if she were squinting at the group angrily.

(Excellent job I am proud)

Smokeswirl slowed Genor's fall with a flick of her tail, letting him rest on the ground by Ripred.

(Howard doesn't need sleep he's past his mortal state and is on the path to immortality) (edited)

(Trust me this poor kid needs sleep)

19:58

(Should we time skip a couple hours to let everyone rest?)

(Sure)

(Oh yeah)

Sixish hours later

Genor woke up mumbling something about how Ropes are red. (edited)

(wtf is a rop)

(Im sorry)

Jexus hadn’t officially been on watched duty, but his eye and back were aching too much to sleep, so he had been lazily lying on the floor whilst he squinted around at everyone else for the past six hours. (edited)

Demeter had woken up slightly early, noticing that Jexus was still awake. "Why have you not slept, Jexus?" She asked tiredly.

Genor jumped up. "Oh my god! Jexus! Jexus, sleep! Here, I have some pills if you really need this much help to get to sleep." Genor said as he mumbled around with some of his pills.

Jexus just groaned slightly. “Pain.” he said simply.

(Do you want the pills)

"I am sorry about that. I am sure Howard has painkillers of some sort."

(@DrBracewell)

(Uh Nah I’m good)

20:04

(Jexus is a tough boy he’ll be fine)

(No like sleeping pills)

Onora awoke from her terrible sleep. She had groaned as she sat up, the rock dug into her back. “You need pain medication.” The halflander had hooked the medicine bag with her fingertips, bringing it over to her. She rummaged through the bag, pulling out a green vial. “Here.”

(You need it)

20:05

(Or painkillers)

"Yes, Jexus, sleep. Our hosts are trustworthy, and we are safe under their watch. Accept the medication." Demeter said.

Genor looked at Onora's leg and slowly said. "You know, my dad lost a leg. He made 60k prothtestic leg, detachable. In fact, I still carry it around with me..."

(So he just... casually carries around a fake leg? Where does he put it?)

Genor's eyes widened, realizing his stupid decision and immediatly started ruffling through his bag. "Oh my god, I'm sorry for being so stupid."

Jexus reluctantly took the painkillers, and within minutes fell into a deep sleep.

(;))

(Its the only thing he has from his dad, and it was made specially detachable and carried it around.)

(That seems a bit too perfect to be true. And like, I suppose it’s the exact height and length that Onora needs?)

Onora had quietly looked at him. Her eyes squinted tiredly. She didn’t know how to answer this.

Genor mumbled. "Me and my dad messed around with it a lot, and we made it so it could be molded to different legs and people. He was rich and smart and he used it to all of his ability."

20:11

Genor looked at her. "It was electronic powered, so many of it's products are already gone to waste. But, it still functions," he said, and he pulled out a small metal leg from his backpack.

20:13

He started sizing it up, and when trying to fit it through, it was clearly to big and clunky. In desperation, as he had no tools, he took out a small dager and started cutting and slicing at the leg. Sparks flew everywhere, and within an hour or so, it was ready for use.

20:13

(That good enough for you DrBracewell?)

Onora murmured something to herself, inaudible so now one could hear. “I don’t think an electric leg is good for down here..”

(I mean Genor even mentioned his dead was legless like a week ago)

(his dead)

20:15

(now we just need one for smokeswirl XD)

Genor looked at her. "Yes, so all of its features may not come to use, it may not glow a fancy, blue LED, but it isn't a robot-powered tincan. It should still move with your leg."

20:15

(Sorry bud not happening)

(Atmos do you actually want the leg?)

(I mean, sort of. I just like, want a normal one thooo)

(Dont worry without electronics it isnt going to go Iron man mode and start flying)

Howard had awoken, and glanced over at the group gazing at the impromptu fake leg. “Try not to get the wound infected again.” he called over, too tired to do much else.

(Its just a tin can for now, it would add on and move with your leg)

20:17

(Wow a snuggle partner can get her leg back and don't get hurt)

Smokeswirl observed the leg, slightly jealous.

(Also the wound is below her knee, so not much actual tech would be needed.)

20:18

(It wouldn’t even need to bend)

(Not much tech is AVAIBLE)

20:18

(Wow we could just use a stick then)

20:19

Genor looked at Onora. "Are you sure you want this? This is going to require some pain, and I need you to lay down and get you asleep. Once you do this, only Regalia can take it off after this."

20:22

(You can say no)

(Sorry I was doing something)

(We can get a better, more thought-out scene for a while)

20:23

(If you want)

(Yeah)

(I understand; doesn't look the best)

“No thank you.” Onora said politely. Her soft violet eyes studied the fake leg, she would need it some time. Some day. Maybe now it wasn’t the best time.

Genor nodded. "I understand."

20:25

He stuffed the leg away.

(Now Let’s never speak of this)

(speak of what)

(Or the fact that Genor just carries around a leg in his bag)

(No thats still a thing)

(Does no one else find that creepy?)

(That was a thing before and will still be a thing)

(Lmao)

20:26

Onora had sat quietly. Unsure of what to do at this moment.

Genor killed everyone with his leg and killed everyone again and again then ran away high af (edited)

(Pffft)

He ended up walking off a cliff

Onora shook Jexus away, hoping he wouldn’t be grouchy as he normally was. “Jexus.” She whispered. Onora repeated his name again.

Jexus murmured in his sleep, shifting around in his sleep before finally waking. “Whatisit?” he asked sleepily.

She looked at him, feeling bad for interrupting his sleep. Onora had watched him awake. “You need to sleep more often.” She blurted. The halflander forgot what she was to say. So she made something up.

Jexus stared at her. “You woke me from my sleep... to tell me... that I need to sleep more often?”

(Awwwwwwwwwwww)

21:15

(XD)

(Dudes what did I miss)

(Nothing)

21:16

(Except Coilthroats backstory)

21:16

(Oh and)

(I was there)

(As much as it pains me today this, I’m going Disney for the next two days so DrbBracewell has time to catch up and leave me in the dust)

21:16

(I hate you)

(No way)

21:18

(Can anyone still roleplay or was I too late?)

“Er—no I Uh.. forgot what I was going to say.” Onora said. She scooted closer to Jexus, letting him fall back to sleep. She softly wrapped herself inside of his wing.

Jexus stared at her for a couple more seconds before shaking his head slightly, wrapping his wing around her and falling back to sleep.

(Not even)

(Hey Michael I can Rp)

(Anyone else?)

(Yeah I’m here)

21:24

(For like 6 minutes lol)

(Wow I keep on getting Rejected on solo rps I feel hurt)

(Mee)

(Wow am I invisible)

21:26

(Here)

21:26

(If you can see this say ketchup)

(Mayonnaise)

(Mustard)

(Dang it)

Genor, finishing some of his fish from last night, dragged himself over to Gregor. “Hey! The warrior! You know, you’ve never really told me that whole story what did happen? No, forget that. Did you make any bonds? And how are bonds like? Is there like a ceremony to bond?” Genor was hyperactive and bursting with questions.

Gregor was shocked at the onslaught of questions. "Woah, slow down there Genor. I can only answer one question at a time." He chuckled.

Genor nodded his head like a little child being told manners. “Okay,” now much more laid back, “ Choose one.”

He thinks for a second. "I did in fact have a bond before. It.. didnt end well.. but having a bond is just like having a best friend, someone who you would do anything for and they would to you."

Genor didn’t understand. “Is it like just giving gifts to each other? Because that’s pretty chill considering what some other people do with their bonds.” (edited)

"Its much more than a gift now and again. A line in the phrase you recite is "our life and death are one, we two." Your lives are connected. Its like your lives are one."

Genor nodded slowly, trying to process the thought. “So like save each other’s lives kinda thing?”

22:04

“Right?”

"Kinda."

Genor nodded slowly again. “Is it like a rue that humans can only one with bats or....?”

comfort

(Yes)

22:07

(More)

"No, you can bond with anyone. Luxa is bonded with Ripred, so human to gnawer." (edited)

comfort

Genor nodded, but there was something more pressing on his mind. “Gregor... can overlanders live here? I don’t think it’s a big surprise, but I’m just as lonely as Michael is, except just more depressed...”

Congratulations, @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes), you've fulfilled 22 prophecies!

(Yay)

22:13

(Just enjoying the last few moments of number one before I go to Disney tomorrow)

22:13

(;-;)

"You need to go up every so often for sunlight, but otherwise yeah. Thats my plan also."

Genor smiled. “Yeah, it’s kinda nice to get away from all the mayhem of the overland. And why would you live down here? Give got a family. Perhaps just, I don’t know, visit?”

"I love the people down here more than the people in the overland.."

Genor shrugged. “Well Yeah, but think about it this way. Do you want to find your soulmate in the Overland or the Underland, or have you already?” Genor said jokingly, ~~a little too high from the weed he was smoking~~

Gregor nodded as he said the last part. "I have.." He muttered.

Genor sputtered. “Really? Who? The queen of the Underland?” Genor said, again too high from the weed.

"You will never believe me if I told you."

Genor gawked, And then started laughing. “Okay, okay. You lik- love the queen of the Underland. THEE QUEEN. I don’t know man, give it a shot.”

"~~No its you~~ I already did. And succeeded."

22:40

He chuckled at his reaction (edited)

(They can only bond with fliers and gnawers I though)

(I thought it was anything)

22:41

(Cuz why would it only be fliers and their worst enemy? At the time of course)

Genor started laughing even harder, the weed getting the better of him now. “Olay Olay, onto more serious matters that I care about now. What are the Underlander’s opinion on “liking” a different species? Like a spider or something.”

22:42

(He’s pretty high right now)

22:42

(But im actually wondering....)

22:43

(Could you be banned?)

(They weren’t allowed to bond until the war was over, Luxa and Ripred were the first ones)

(Oh okay)

22:43

(And what about my question tho I’m actually curious)

"They like the spiders, and the gnawers, and the fliers that I know of. Oh, and moths of course." He said, not knowing much of the Underland politics.

(At least, I thought so)

(I dunno. It seems unlikely, but maybe?)

“No like... liking a different species the way you “like” Liza or whatever her name is.”

"Oh, that kind? I dunno. Personally I kinda find it strange, but I dont know how the Underlanders see it." (Now Im actually curious Thanks XD)

(I’m so curious)

(That...doesn’t happen)

22:50

(I mean like to some people but we shouldn’t talk about them, have you ever had a crush on a spider or a cockroach)

(Yeh)

22:55

(I have)

(Well shoot now I’m curious)

(Holo I’m back)

(Hey Hollo!!)

(k so should we do some roleplay?)

(Yee someone else should start tho idk what we should do)

Jexus awoke from sleep, and stretched slightly. He wandered over to Smokeswirl. "So, these moths have been great. But we still need to get to the crushers. When do we leave?"

Smokeswirl pondered for a moment, scratching her shoulder. “As soon as we can. I don’t know when that will be, though, since many of us are injured and Demeter can’t fly.”

(how can a rat scratch its shoulder?)

(With its hind leg, my dog does it all the time)

(Oh)

Jexus nodded. He was bored, and decided to see if there was any more information he could get out of the moths. He slowly went up to Floss. "Hey. So... how long have you been here?"

Floss fluttered their wings. “We have lived in these lands since we escaped. Three generations ago.” (Ik you meant sitting there but floss is a bit of a precious idiot)

Sky stretched as he woke up. "Mornin yall."

Smokeswirl gave him an odd look, having absolutely no idea what y’all meant.

"Whats with the look?"

(Guys I think Smokeswirl is warning up to humans)

“I’ve never heard that word before.” Smokeswirl stretched, and strode across the cave, gnawing on a rock. Their ways of talking were so odd. (edited)

“Technically, it’s not a word, just a slang term that means you all. Slang means a word that is short for another word.

“Odd.” Smokeswirl remarked.

"A lot of English is 'odd'. Ya get used to it."

A little over a week had passed, and the group had grown restless. The moths were amazing hosts, despite being a little odd, but their mission still awaited them. Most mention of the Prowlers was met with the moth equivalent of crying. However, two moths volunteered to come with them on the trip, to carry supplies and people. The first was Floss, and the other Satin, a moth grey like stone with eye-like patterns on their wings. Demeter’s chest wound had grown far less irritated, and had healed tremendously in the week. She was able to fly again, much to her relief. Smokeswirl’s new scars faded into her pelt along with the dozens of others that marred her.

(SHould we all just do like 1 sentence to describe what happened to us over the week? Like you just did.)

15:12

Over the past week, Jexus' back wounds had healed nicely. His eye was still painful, and he still wasn't used to moving and flying with just one eye, but he felt much better. He had grown restless, eager to continue with their mission. Howard had spent the week mainly with Nike, strengthening their bond whilst he regained his own strength.

Onora had practiced walking and training with her own leg, becoming better at using it than she had before. Nike had spent most of her time with Howard, strengthening their bond with each other. Chai had spent most of her time with Anne, being her motherly figure she never had.

Smokeswirl walked out in front of the group, squirming under their collective gaze. “It’s time we get going. I fear how much time we have wasted may have great consequences.” She said, flicking her tail in the direction of a tunnel that led southward.

Sky nods. Over the week he has healed up a lot and gotten almost back to how he was before getting yeeted on. "I agree with Smoke."

Congratulations, @Logged off, you've fulfilled 13 prophecies!

“Don’t call me Smoke.” She said. “We leave in an hour. Be ready.”

Onora had nodded slightly, hoping over to Jexus. “Are you ready to go?”

Jexus grinned at Smokeswirl’s and Sky’s bickering, then nodded back at Onora. “Yes, let us get everything packed up.”

Howard walked over to Onora, holding something on his hand. “Hey,” he said, holding a stick he had been holding. “I... uh... made this for you.” Onora took the staff. “You can use it as, like, a crutch, the the bottom end is sharp, so you can... I don’t know, stab things with it.” Howard offered her a backpack, with some ropes tied strangely around it. “You can strap it to this when you’re flying and don’t need to lean on it.” (edited)

Onora took the long piece of wood in her hand, feeling the sanded wood. She studied it, seeing the sharp edge on one side, and blunt on the other. This was quite convent, as it would help her walk, and she would also have a weapon. “Thank you Howard.” She said, giving him a gentle smile before hugging him.

Howard smiled sheepishly. “I figured it was the least I could do after... you know... I cut off your leg.”

Onora grinned. She brushed her hair out of the way, the pony-tail holder had broke the past week. The halflander had leaned on the stick, the blunt edge down on the ground. “You didn’t have to though.”

Howard just smiled, and went to pack up the supplies.

(Onora talks a whole frickin lot about her hair)

(It’s because she loves it)

Sky stood and walked around the group.

Jexus helped everyone pack up their supplies, then glanced around. Everyone seemed to know who they were going to ride on, so he knelt down to let Onora climb onto his back, then let a Ripred climb on too.

Sky waljed over to Chai, and Gregor to Cass.

(Jexus: Ripred, Onora Chai: Sky, Anne Cass: Edwynn, Gregor Demeter: Michael, Smokeswirl Floss: Satin: Does anyone else not have a mount yet bc the moths can carry)

(Nah I think that’s everyone)

18:35

(Oh also Nike has howard +supplies)

(Oh yes I forgot We’ll have the moths for backup in case a flier gets hurt and has to be carried, and also for supplies)

(Shall we take off?)

(Actually wait aren’t we doing this on foot so Smokeswirl can keep the trail)

(Oh oof)

(We can just say the moths know the way)

18:52

Floss and Satin fluttered into the air first, and Demeter followed close after. The trip was originally meant to be on foot, with Smokeswirl’s nose as a guide, but the moths knew the way. However, it had been generations since they’d escaped the Prowlers. They consulted with Smokeswirl on landmarks and other details.

(wow you guys forgot my character LIFES GREAT) (edited)

(IM SORRY SKSJSJSJ)

(WOW I RESIGN)

(Genor can ride fluffy moth Floss they’re so fluffy)

(TAKING THIS TO HEART)

18:59

(WELL LIFES STILL GREAT haha)

19:00

(I love yffulf stuff)

Genor tilted his head. “Yes, how would they remember the location of it, for it has been generations since they last took that route. In fact, I think we could be better off without them.” Genor spoke somewhat smugly, ~~still recovering from last nights weed~~ (edited)

"Thats a good point Genor." Sky said as he removed the slide. He looked around the group as he did so.

Genor looked at Sky. “Don’t rely on a gun so much. Doesn’t do much damage down here.” (edited)

"Ive taken down my fair share with two mags. I have three rounds left though, so unless I can get some more from the Overland Im cooked."

"I still don't understand what a gun is." Demeter said, confused by the strange terminology he used.

Genor laughed at his comment. “Good luck going up to the Overland now. Maybe after this quest. Here.” He tossed him a sword. “Learn yo use this.”

Sky catches the sword. "I used to love sword combat, lets see if I still got it. And a gun is a piece of metal that flings smaller pieces of metal at high speeds. Faster than you can imagine."

“It’s a handheld machine made by humans contains small circular balls made from lead that is fired at incredible speeds to pierce the human body, poisoning the body and possibly making them die from blood loss.” Genor said, looking at Demeter.

"Thats a much better descripeion than I had." He laughs slightly.

"Strange... We do not have anything like it in the Underland." Demeter said, uncomfortable with the idea of a weapon so dangerous.

“Yes, it is not something that has fared well in the Overland. It has caused the death of millions.” Genor said, noting Demters unease. (edited)

"Something like that could win Regalia many wars. I am almost glad that we do not have it."

“Yes, the balance of powers is discarded.” Genor said solemnly. (edited)

"It would be better if they werent invented."

Genor nodded slowly. “Yes, it would have been much better. Oh so much better.”

Howard glanced over at Sky. “May... may I see this gun?”

"Sure. Be careful with it though." He popped the slide back on and ejected the round loaded into the chanber. He gave it to Howard.

Genor said slowly, “Be careful. And please, I beg you, do not recreate it down here. Unimaginable chaos will ensue.”

“Why did you have a gun anyways? You didn’t know you were coming.”

“Yes, and thats why I’m assuming he didn’t bring every single one of his bullets too.”

Howard laughed slightly, humbled by the power that lay in his hands. “Do not worry Genor. I know nothing of smithing. All I can do make sure people survive.” Howard seemed curious about the medical aspect of the bullets. “You say these small pieces of metal kill people? As in, always without fail?”

"Dad always has a concealed carry on him. When he... died.." Sky teared up at that. "being in a new place not knowing anything about it, I took it so it to be safe and so Id be able to have something of his with me.. and no, people can survive."

“Huh.” Michael said.

“Well, humans have created cutting edge medical techniques to save others. But most of the time...” Genor shook his head. (edited)

Howard frowned slightly, then handed the gun back to Sky carefully. “I agree. It is a good thing we do not have this type of technology.”

Sky took it. "It is a very dangerous tool. Its good fir gathering food though, but when used against others.." He shuddered.

(Brb going to a restaurant)

(Kk)

Jexus awoke from his rest, and motioned for everyone to start flying again. They had been making good time, and the moths said they were close to the Prowlers

(Wait are we ending off this rp?)

(But are we ended by off this rp?)

(No?)

(I mean once we kill the pouncers then what?)

(We go Crushers then next adventure I guess)

(Yeah)

16:55

(I guess)

( @Lenn If you’re free now wanna rp?)

16:56

Howard and Genor were riding on Nike. Howard suddenly turned to Genor. “Hey,” he began “Umm... about Shredder... we will find her. I can imagine how hard this is for you. If Nike had been taken from me, I... you shouldn’t have to go through this.”

Genor slowly nodded, his eyes starting to well up, before asking, “Yes, well have you been bonded before and lost them?” (edited)

Howard sat in silence for a couple minutes. “I lost my first bond, Pandora. She... she was eaten by carnivorous mites. Gregor almost lost his too, but he survived.” Howard glanced over to Gregor. “Not for long though.”

17:00

Howard seemed to come back to reality. “But I promise, the moment this is over, I will help you find Shredder. And I am sure the rest of us will too.” he said, gesturing towards the group.

Genor nodded sadly, as that was all he could do now. He had lost Ripred and Shredder, and both his parents, and couldn’t do much else before breaking down. “Thanks Man. I really appreciate it.”

17:01

“So, I take it that loss is a very common thing in the Underland?” (edited)

Howard smiled sadly. “Yes. I wish I could say otherwise, but I do not want to warp your vision of this place. The Underland is dangerous, even more so if you believe it not to be. All of us have suffered incredible loss and pain.”

17:03

“But there are moments, just small moments, that make it all worthwhile.” (edited)

Genor nodded once more, pretending, even for a second, that he understood the struggles that people go through down here. "How is the current relationship with the Rats, relatively. I mean, was it always this bad?"

Howard sighed. “That is a very long story. But I suppose we have time.” he shifted around on Nike. “For the short answer, no. There have been times of peace in the past. The current war started around 15 years ago, when the humans flooded a large part of the gnawer’s lands. The Garden of Hesperides, it was called. That set the cornerstone for the conflict up until Gregor arrived three years ago. He was destined to be the warrior, to defeat a rat known as the Bane. After a lengthy battle, he did just that, but it came with a price. Gregor lost his bond, and countless others also lost their lives.” Howard paused for breath. “After that, we hoped we could organise a treaty with the gnawers, but we soon collapsed back into our old habits. At this point, I am not sure there can ever be true peace until one species is gone.”

Genor looked at him in shock. "Well, human nature isn't doing the best for us in the Overland either. We fear we may have caused unfixable damage to the planet of Earth. In fact, some have already gave up hope and are looking for other planets to colonize on. But do the majority of us, 8 billion people care? No, we go about our lives and continue to ruin our place. In short, there is no good place to be." Genor said, quite rushed and in anger.

Howard stared back at Genor. “Perhaps humans are the problem. There are rumours that when Sandwhich first colonised Regalia, he drove out the diggers, indigenous species that lived there. He poisoned their water supply, forcing them to move away.” Howard dropped his gaze. “It sounds like Underlanders and Overlanders are not too different after all.”

Genor slowly nodded. "So!" Genor said, in a desperate attempt to lighten the tone. "What... how... how do you bond?"

Howard smiled at that. “Well you were there when Jexus and Onora did, right?” Howard stuck out his hand. “It’s quite simple really. You just hold your bond’s hand and say some words. Genor the Overlander, I bond to you. Our life and death are one, we two. In dark, in flame, in war, in strife, I save you as a save my life.” Howard grinned. “And then you can have a huge party ~~and get high af~~”

17:23

(Oh Wait no he wasn’t)

17:23

(But hiward doesn’t know that)

Genor was genuinely confused now, and intrigued. "Can you bond with two people at once? Is it reason if you disobey the lines or whatever?"

“Well, if you, for example, run away from your bond during battle, then it counts as treason, and you will be executed. But if you do something illegal, your bond will also be blamed for it. So it works both ways.” Howard furrowed his brow. “And whilst humans have only ever bonded with fliers, Queen Luxa bonded with Ripred two years ago, in addition to her flier Aurora. That has never happened again though.”

Genor tilted his head. "How does Aurora feel about that? And why the hell would Ripred let that happen."

Howard grinned slightly. “I never talked to Aurora about it, but she seemed fine. And Ripred... well, who knows what goes on in his head. He likes Luxa, though. That much I know.”

Genor laughed as he shook his head. "He doesn't like anyone but himself. I'm sure about that. If he comes back, I doubt he would be grateful."

Howard laughed too, enjoying this moment with Genor. “I’m sure Ripred seems that way, but he actually has a really soft heart. Why else would he bond to Luxa?”

Genor chuckled. "Did she leave him a choice?" (edited)

“Hardly.” Howard replied, leaning back on Nike. “And what of you, Genor? Are you planning to return to the Overland?”

(I wanna pop in but i can't think of how xd)

(Brb)

Genor straightened up. "No, I have nothing to go back to. I sat in the corners of the Overland, forgotten. People threw pennies at me as if that would benefit me. It was all I could do not to starve to death."

"Are pennies some form of food?" Demeter asked, suddenly speaking after having remained quiet for most of the flight.

Genor laughed. "No, do you have a currency down here?"

(wait do we)

(Just say sure I guess?)

(Back)

(Wait do we?)

(Uhh sure why not)

"Yes, we do. Are pennies currency?"

Genor shook his head. "Technically. But will it buy anything? Only if I get a thousand pennies. They are as worthless to buy stuff as a rock."

Howard had sat back up, as interested in this conversation as Genor had been in the bonding one. “Do many people live like this in the Overland?”

Genor shook his head as a quiet no. "Hundreds of thousands. Perhaps millions. But relatively? Of course not."

17:50

(OMG WHAT THE )

(That’s not true like a fifth of the world lives in poverty)

(GIVE ME FORTY MINUTES TWISTS AND TURNS ON LUCIFER)

17:51

( I MUST WATCH THE LAST EPISODE)

17:51

(Yeah, I know. Like a billion or so. )

(Oof I tried lucifer once I didn’t really like it)

(Wait okay im going to fix that message)

(The guy was hot tho)

(He is)

17:51

(Im not gay tho I swear)

Howard tried to wrap his head around how many people lived in the Overland. “You said eight billion. In here we only have ten thousand or so.”

Genor nodded silently. "Well its better here than up there."

Howard frowned. “Even with all the death and war?”

Genor laughed. "You know nothing about death and war. I'm sorry if that came out rude, but we have killed each other in cold blood. It is more divided up there than down here."

Howard narrowed his eyes. “You say ‘we’. So you have killed people?”

Genor nodded his head. "I've killed down here. It was easier because I've killed up there."

(Who’d he kill?)

(You dont know yet)

Might I ask... Why? Who?" Demeter asked quietly.

Genor spoke quietly. "The people who killed my parents. I knew who they were, they their friends. I went up there one night, after a long investigation at the police station. The police assumed I killed them. So I went up to there room with a knife..." Genor broke down into tears and curled up into a ball, thinking about that night again.

18:04

(hOly CRAP WOAHHHH)

18:04

(HES NOT A PHYSCOPATH)

18:04

(WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TAHTS WRONG)

“I am sorry for your loss.” Howard said gingerly. “But do not presume to lecture us on war, Genor.” Howard’s eyes seemed tired. “I have seen and done things you would never dream of. Horrible things.”

Genor nodded silently. "I'm sorry."

Jexus had slowed until he was flying beside Nike. “We should not compare our crimes.” he said. “That makes everyone the loser.”

Genor nodded silently.

Howard suddenly felt a wave of pity towards Genor. He was only fourteen. “My apologies, Genor.” he said. “I did not mean to offend or demean you. I cannot imagine what it must of been like when your parents died.”

Genor finally said it. "I was only twelve when I killed those people. They were drunk when they did it. And I was broken after that."

Howard said nothing. The group flew on silently. “Twelve...” Howard looked up, and Genor could see the pain in his eyes. Howard did not know what to say, but he hoped Genor knew how sorry he was for him.

Genor noticed Howard's eyes. "Don't be sorry, I killed two people. I got my punishment for doing that." (edited)

(Don)

(i have an uncle named don)

(Happy weef dad day don)

(YOur all bullies for me pressing the enter to early)

“Oh?” Howard said quietly.

(don swears a lot and owns a farm)

18:14

(yee haw uncle don)

(Would he like some human comfort?)

18:15

(We have too many inside jokes)

(Your not wrong)

(Someone remind me to add a !4.21 command to virtual Ripred)

(And why is VR offline)

(Who knows man. Who knows)

18:15

(I don’t have ssh access rn, can’t restart)

(ooooof)

"Genor." Demeter said. "People down here will not judge you for having killed. Most of the people here have."

Genor shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I judge myself for who I have killed and what for."

“As do we all” Jexus said quietly. (edited)

"That is honorable." Demeter replied. She knew he had only been a child at the time, but still was so against violence it made her squirm.

"Yes. Well, onto something more lightheartedly. How do you got bread and everything? Food? And you need a certain amount of Vitamin D to live..."

"It is grown in the fields. I am not sure what Vitamin D is, but it seems humans have evolved without it."

“We have cattle, farms, fish.” Howard replied, still quietened by their previous conversation.

Genor nodded, unsure of where to take this. His head was getting tired of nodding so much.

Smokeswirl propped herself up slightly on Demeter. "Does anyone else find it odd that we haven't been attacked again? We're so much closer to the Crushers than we were before."

Genor looked around, his sense heightening. "Maybe they're watching us."

Jexus considered this. “Perhaps... perhaps they want us to come to them?”

"No... not watching us. They're too loud for that. Their armor clicks." Demeter said, shaking her head.

Genor layed back down. "No need to worry. Worrying about the problems just makes it seem like dealing with it twice."

Howard shook his head. “Remind me why we are heading for the crushers?”

18:30

“What is our plan? To just destroy them all and return to Regalia victorious?”

"Yes."

"I thought we might try for peace, at least at first." Demeter said.

"They want to kill us. What peace do you want?"

"I don't know. But we don't know them well enough to say."

Jexus shook his head. “At this point, peace is too much to ask for. They’ve attacked us multiple times, without warning or reason. The only thing left for us to do is fight back.”

Genor shook his head. "Somethings wrong. Why would they even want the Underland?"

18:41

(Man I forgot so much)

(Go watch it then tell us which is worst)

(I dont even remember the ending!)

(You mean code of claw?)

As the group moved through the tunnels, it became more and more obvious that something was off. The most unsettling thing was the overwhelming lack of... anything. Most of the tunnels behind them had water, and some plants, but these tunnels were nothing but dark, dry rock. There were hints that suggested water had been there once, like dry riverbeds and cracked stalactites, but nothing remained. There was absolutely no life.

Sky tightened his grip on the grip with the lack of life. His gut was screaming at him to get out of there but he didnt listen and got ready in case something happened.

(What did I miss)

18:45

(What did I miss)

Jexus could feel the tension in the group. “Are we sure this is the right way?”

(Headfirst into a political abyss)

18:46

(Headfirst into the abyss)

(We had some deep conversations but not much else)

(No way)

As the group progressed deeper into the tunnel, it... changed. Instead of the sharp natural terrain, the cave walls looked smoothed down, and the cave itself was almost a perfect circle.

18:56

Jexus was concerned. What could have made the cave look like this?

Genor began tensing up. "They live here. They fit it to there likings."

(OH YEAH)

(TELL U WHAT LETS DO ONE NOW)

THE POUNCERS CAME BY AND STARTED MURDERING US ALL ONE BY ONE.

18:11

(OH YEAH)

(Pretty sure its prowlers but ok)

18:11

(Pretty sure its prowlers but ok)

(SHUT UP CHILD)

Howard screamed in terror as the weasels ate him alive

GENOR LAUGHED AT THE DYING HOWARD. “FOOLISH MORTAL! I AM ZEUS AND WILL DESTROY YOU ALL IDIOTS.”

18:14

(Oh snap plot twist)

Jexus watched in concern as Genor was consumed by insanity before being stamped into the stone floor.

SHREDDER BURST OUT OF NO WHERE AND ATE GENORS BODY AND LEFT. (edited)

18:15

(This is good role play)

(I like)

(Same)

Jexus watched all this from his ledge, seemingly unworried about all his friends being killed.

18:16

(Where they ever really his friends?)

Ripred laughed at the dying bodies along side Jexus.

Jexus looked at Ripred before eating him in one bite.

Ripred said, “Wtf Bro. Not cool.”

18:17

(Yes this is Ripred)

(michael said can you guys stop pls or im gonna ban both of you)

(Wow Michael way to kill a role play)

(Yeah Wow)

(IMO that was some of the best rping we’ve ever done)

(Yes)

Jexus flew on, his wings beating steadily. “So... that was nice of Howard.” he said cautiously to Onora.

“Yeah, I mean? I don’t really know.” Onora had said, rubbing her hand up and down her forearm. She leaned on the stick quietly, helping her keep balance.

Jexus smiled to himself. “What do you plan to do after this is all over?” he asked, desperate for a conversation.

Genor silently mumbled from the corner on a moth. "Yes, what will we do after this entire ordeal is over?"

Her eyes trailed to the ground, her gaze was—confused. Onora had spoke softly. “I am not entirely sure? I mean, get a job, and everything. Family is for the future, but money to support myself?”

Genor laughed from the corner. "What job? I was aspiring to be a tech genius before I landed on the streets and I doubt many professions in the overland fit down here." (edited)

Jexus was concerned. “Life down here is very different from the Overland. You may need time to... adjust.”

Genor sat up, now curious. "Yes, what do normal people do down here?"

Jexus grimaced. “Many are soldiers. But we also have farmers, market sellers, architects and builders.”

Genor thought for a while. "Well, I could go with an architect. But, I am a good fighter, being a rager and all..." Genor trailed off, now in deep thought.

Onora had shook her head, sending her hair flying everywhere. “I mean, who long have I even been down here?” Days felt like weeks, weeks felt like years, and years—she didn’t know.

Jexus was confused. “Why did you come on this mission? You are not Gregor, there was no prophecy foretelling your fate. Why come with Demeter and Smokeswirl and Ripred?” (edited)

(Wait are you talking to Onora)

(Yes)

“I wanted to. I’m not really sure.. plus I was sort of dragged into it..” Onora said, gripping the stick of cleanly polished wood.

(We dragged her on)

19:40

Genor shook his head. "You say like that you could have said No. We wouldn't have given you a choice. I mean, in my defense, I didn't understand how dangerous it would be."

Jexus grinned slightly. “I would not worry about housing or a job yet. You could live with me for the time being. I - I also know of a small cave just outside Regalia. A... a friend told me of it.” Jexus looked sad.

Genor noticed Jexus' face drop as he said this. "What happened?"

“Do not worry yourself.” Jexus said, glancing over to Gregor. “I... we just lost someone.”

Genor tilted his head. "Who? What happened?"

(No)

Jexus shook his head adamantly. “It is not my story to tell. Ask Gregor.”

(Imma, imma have to stop you right there before I cry)

Genor thought about it for a bit. "Was it his bond that he had before all of this...?"

Onora’s interest was peaked, she brushed her crazy hair out of the way, eyeing the cave. “Gregor doesn’t...seem to have a bond. Is that it?” She flickered her gaze to each of them for a moment, then Howard, then back to Jexus.

Jexus face was set in stone, but he refuses to say anything more.

(OH NOOO)

Genor looked at Onora. "We were talking about bonds. Turns out he had a pretty close one in his own adventures. I think it was... Oron?"

(IMMA CRY NOW)

“If Gregor needs to tell you, he will.” Jexus continued quietly. “If he doesn’t, then you should not push him.”

(IM TRYING NOT TOO HE WAS LIKE MY FAV CHARACTER)

19:49

Genor nodded, understanding that he must of lost someone.

Onora had fallen down, her wooden staff toppling down with her. She guessed he had died somehow. Thinking about this made Onora’s eyes drip.

19:49

(SAMEEE)

(I made this once when I was pissed after rereading code of claw https://tumblr.drbracewell.co.uk/post/183845023717/ares-is-such-a-fucking-great-bat-he-does-not)

Who Says I Cant Handle It? I Can Handle It!

Oof reblogging to this blog this time because I’m not smart

19:51

(So much swearing I was emotional okay)

19:53

Jexus welled up his eyes as he remembered his old friend, but he just pushed himself harder, gradually taking over the rest of the group.

"Is everyone alright?" Demeter asked, coasting over after noticing the sad expressions from everyone. (edited)

(WAIT WHAT NO ITS ALMOST ONE OCLOCK WHAT HAVE YALL DONE TO ME I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW GOODNIGHT)

(ITS 8:00 HERE HAHA)

(NO NO NO NO NO GOODNIGHT TIME TO SLEEP)

(DAMMIT NOOO)

(NOOO)

19:57

(WAKETH)

19:57

(UGH LETS JUST RP WITHOUT HIM XD)

19:58

(idk how to start but someone can interact w smokeswirl or demeter if they want)

(OHHHH I SEE SO YALL CARE ABOUT ME WHEN ITS MY HOLIDAY AND I DONT NEED TO GET UP EARLY BUT NOW I HAVE SCHOOL NONE OF YOU CARE)

Genor cocked his head towards Demeter. "We were talking about Gregor's previous bond, do you have any info on that?"

19:59

(Yeah pretty much)

(Fine I’ll guess I just suffer tomorrow)

(NO I WAS JOKING M'BOI SLEEP)

(I shall rp now)

"I do not. I knew the Warrior had a bond who perished, but that is all."

(SHUT UP MOM ITS MY LIFE)

(WELL ITS ALOT OF MONEY FOR A FUNERAL WHEN YOU DIE SO SHUT UP AND DO WHAT I TELL YOU SON)

Jexus seemed pained, but still refused to speak, telling them to ask Gregor if they truly wanted to know.

(SHUT UP AND SLEEP CHILD)

(No)

(FINE YOUR FUNERAL NOT MINE)

(Yes that’s what I said)

20:03

(Dammit where atmos go)

(fine)

20:04

Genor nodded. "Well, perhaps we shouldn't talk about it." (edited)

shouldm

(shut duck up)

(Here)

20:06

Onora had curled up into a ball, slowly rocking herself back and fourth. Her tears had dripped off of of arms. She couldn’t even imagine loosing Jexus.

Genor looked at her. "Losing bonds is not a favorable thing. I was close to Shredder, it felt like I knew her for years before I..."

Jexus could feel Onora shaking in his back. “Do not worry,” be began, trying to comfort her. “I haven’t died yet.”

"We may get her back still..." Demeter said reassuringly.

(DAMMIT VIRTUAL RIPRED)

Genor snapped his head at her. "Shut up. I've lost hope. And you should give up too. He had no more reason to torture, I'm sure she's dead."

The comfort thing was working on her. She hugged Jexus close, her sobbing quieted. She wanted hugs from everyone.

(Oh my god Jexus would literally crush Onora in a hug if he could rn)

(Do it)

Demeter flinched, but didn't push it.

(do it)

Jexus managed to grow a pair of arms mid flight to hug Onora

(Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww)

She hugged him back, leaning into his soft fur. Shushing herself quietly. Onora finished up her crying with a few sniffles.

(Wait im confused why are you crying)

(~~hormones~~)

(No but what the)

(She’s got a lot on her plate rn I think she’s just emotional or something)

(Why did you just start cyring)

(Wrong)

20:16

(She doesn’t wanna loose my dude Jexus ~~or Howard But this besides the point~~)

(Im so confused why are you crying)

20:17

(But she hasn't why is she crying)

(It’s the thought that counts) (edited)

(Why though)

(She’s just sad okay stop judging and support her)

(How though in this story she is 4 years older than me)

(HUG HER YOURE NEVER TOO YOUNG OR OLD FOR HUGS)

(Smokeswirl jumped bats and tackled onora in a hug)

20:20

(haha jk smokey hates everyone) (edited)

Genor leaned against her shaky body and hugged her tight. "No one is going anywhere, we are done dealing with death. My word, everyone flying with us will make it back to Regalia."

Smokeswirl's whiskers twitched. "That is not always possible. The trip will be dangerous."

(SHUT UP)

Jexus whipped his head round and growled slightly at Smokeswirl. “Shut up.” he whispered.

Genor shot her a look but did nothing.

(What did I miss)

"Realism is necessary in a life or death situation. We can't have anyone parading around with reckless abandon."

(Pls ping me when we start roleplaying)

(Onora's crying for no reason and I need to comfort her or i will be shunned)

(we are silly)

20:22

(we are, silly*)

20:22

(we are not silly)

She leaned into him, hugging the dear life out of him.

(basically onora is crying and smokeswirl is being a jerk)

(I know I meant next time)

20:23

(Ok)

(yo the Dr's right, we need some REAL DEATH)

(Yeah.)

(well, everyone is online)

Genor jumped off Jexus and died.

(I was already planning on killing off my character)

Onora had rolled off of Jexus, trying to catch her grip. She struggled to pulled herself up.

(WHAT NO GREGOR CANT DIE)

(Oml Sky)

"What is that? On the ground?" Demeter asked, squinting at a small shape on the ground, which had been otherwise empty for most of the trip. (edited)

Jexus frowned, and called for everyone to stop. He followed Demeter down cautiously.

Onora pulled herself back up, and looked down at the ground. She couldn’t figure out what it was.

Genor looked at the ground in curiosity. What could it be?

Demeter landed a few feet away from the item, peering at it cautiously. Smokeswirl hopped off, and carefully padded towards it. "It's a piece of rotted meat...?"

Genor instinctively took out his sword. "Someone's here."

Sky chambered a round.

As Smokeswirl pondered in confusion, a blurred shape leaped out of nowhere and tackled her to the ground. She hissed and writhed, unable to see the assailant. But the others could. It was a huge, furry mammal, with a snakelike body and beady eyes. A weasel, gnashing its sharp teeth.

Onora had flipped her wooden staff, showing the shinny pointy end of the stick. It could spear through someone, surely.

Genor rushed towards it, sword drawn and stabbed the Weasel multiple times and let it bleed out.

Jexus raised his wings, hissing loudly as Genor stabbed the snakelike creature.

(oh come on genor let us have a fight)

"Oh god, its Weasels, isn't it. Giant, 10 foot weasels. And thousands of them. Oh God." (edited)

20:31

(Sorry)

"Prowler!" Spat Smokeswirl as the weasel reeled back from the stabs. She kicked it in the face and jumped back.

Tens of more rushed out of the Tunnel, attacking the group.

20:32

(There fight time)

(it was just gonna be the one to show how they hunt shhhshsh)

20:32

(we good tho)

(Damn it)

20:32

(Im sorry)

She clapped her hands loudly. Weasels were so cute! Onora gripped her hands together. Giggling. “Come on! It can’t be that bad, plus weasels are adorable!” (edited)

(ur good)

Michael inhaled sharply. This couldn't be good.

Genor looked at her in confusion. "Are you on Pain Meds right now?"

(we can just say it was one more weasel, because that would make sense if y'all are cool with that)

20:34

(they're kinda powerhouses)

(Yes, im sorry for doing that)

(no you're good ^^)

Jexus was also looking confused. “Weasels... did you see wha it tried to do to Smokeswirl?”

Onora shook her head, lowering her hands quietly. “No..” (edited)

The other weasel ran forwards with tenacity, but faltered when it saw the huge group of creatures it had never seen before. It put on a burst of speed, launching itself at Floss with teeth and claws bared.

(NO)

20:36

(I WILL DO WHAT I DID IN THE DREAM)

Genor jumped in front of it, but was to late. He was thrown out and hit the cave wall, profusely bleeding, and screamed in horror. "NO!"

She gasped, yelling at Jexus to do something. Onora tried to tag the weasels side with her spear, but it was to late.

Demeter didn't expect the moth to react so quickly. But they did. Their huge wings spread, eclipsing the group and shocking the Prowler. The eyelike pattern caused it to fall back, hissing. But it didn't last. But when it realized that the eyes were fake, it charged them again. Floss was torn to shreds.

(NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

20:39

(I'm going to go reenact the dream)

20:39

(bye)

(NOOO)

The halflander had laid her spear down onto Jexus’ back, tears flooding her senses.

Genor looked in horror as the weasel rushed towards him.

Jexus had flown forward as soon as he realised what had happened, but it was too late for Floss. Jexus grabbed the powler in his claws and smashed it against the wall, stunning it. “Kill it!” He screamed at no one in particular. (edited)

(Wait is it going towards me or...?)

(No he caught it as it went forwards u)

(Dang it I wanted to do smthng nvrmnd)

(flooded my scenes. You built me palaces out of paragraphs, you built cathedrals. You you you..You forfeit the right to my heart, you forfeit the place in our bed, you’ll sleep in your office instead. I’m burning the memories of when you were mine! The world seemed to, burn..) (edited)

(Holy )

(Someone kill the stupid weasel)

(Wait can I do something)

(Sure)

The weasel flew out of Jexus' hands and flew towards Genor once again.

(~~Hamilton~~)

(I know I loved that song)

(Samme)

Just as the prowler was going to the leap on his dead body, a flash of gray fur had it pinned against the wall and claws starting clawing out it's eyes, catching it off gaurd, and let it slump against the wall, fainted and almost dead.

(OHOH)

"Shredder!" Genor shouted in glee, only to have her turn to him and faint on the ground.

(We need a love story in the rp)

(Not Ripred don't get your hopes up) (edited)

(OOHOOHOHOHOHOHO)

20:43

(OOOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

20:43

"Who the hell is that!" Shouted Smokeswirl.

(Shredder)

(i know smoke doesnt)

(SHe was around for her tho)

(it happened real fast shhh)

Genor jumped up and started some desperate CPR. "Shredder! But I need to keep her alive. Coilthroat's victims have a habit of dying after he lets them go."

The halflander had rolled off Jexus when he took off, leaving her in the rocks below. The Prowler had eyed her, soon striking. She grabbed her spear, running it across its side. It bled some, but this only seemed to provoke it. It launched itself at her, its teeth flashing with a snap in front of her face. Onora had quickly stood with her wooden staff, spearing it in the chest as it slowly bled out. She wiped her face, noticing a small gash on her cheek. The halflander soon fell with it, as she bled heavily.

"Oh, Shredder!" Smokeswirl said, not having recognized her at first. She had genuinely thought the rat dead. She trotted up behind Genor, watching him but being unable to help.

Howard grabbed a medkit, jumped off Nike and rushed over to Shredder. “S**” *he said, after seeing how wounded and bruised she was. But he could clearly see what the main problem was; a huge gash in her belly, leaking a nasty-looking mixture of blood and pus

Genor frantically stood up and started pacing around. "Howard, is she going to be okay? Please don't die, please don't die." (edited)

Howard ignored him, focussing on the injured rat in front of him. He had never been taught how to heal a gnawer, so he relied on common sense and general medical knowledge as he slowly cleaned away the blood from Shredder’s belly, before passing a vial to Genor and asking him to give it to Shredder.

(cue the dramatic entrance of shredder)

Genor took it immediately and shoved it down Shredder's throat, fumbling with the vial.

(oh woops i was late)

(ffffff)

(wow he's a prophet)

Howard silently worked on Shredder, stitching the wound as fast as he could. After that, he gently rolled her over and began working on the rest of her cuts and bruises. After a full hour, he finally stood up, hands covered in blood. “I have done everything I can.” he said reluctantly. “She has suffered no serious harm apart from the wound in her belly. It is too early to tell if it is infected, but the pus is not a good sign.”

(nice job padparadscha )

Howard turned towards Floss, but knew in his heart she was gone. Even if she wasn’t, there was no way she could’ve lasted as he stitched up Shredder.

20:58

(Ok ima go sleep now night y’all)

(o floss died)

20:58

(dang it that was the one character i was starting to like)

(the only one)

(floss the best)

(What’s wrong with tall the rest)

(idk0 (edited)

(Theyre too tall)

(y’all back)

(hi)

(Hey)

Smokeswirl nosed the dead body of the Prowler. "Strange. He's starving." Its bones were prominent through its fur. "Wait a moment... look at this." She moved the Prowler's leg, revealing a large chunk missing. "That's where the meat came from. Same size, same scent." - Demeter winced at the gore. "That wound looks self inflicted. Observe the claw marks, they are the same size. This makes no sense." - Smokeswirl paused. "I think I know what they were doing. They were hunting, and that was the bait."

Jexus leaned in and sniffed the dead body cautiously. “Are... are you saying they hunted their own kind?”

Genor shook his head, laying next to the fainted Shredder. “I guess so.”

Onora tried to gently slide her bloody staff out of the prowler, examining its horrid limp body.

"I am not sure. Possibly, he ripped the flesh right out of himself to draw in scavengers and then eat them. I do not see why he did not simply save some of his last kill, though."

(Wait what’s actually going on?)

“Or,” Genor straightened himself. “There lie other creatures and threats down here. He was trying to them.”

(He was trying to them great sentence genor you fartface)

(Sorry)

(he was trying to them, mikl smh)

(Lmao)

Congratulations, @𝚊𝚝𝚖𝚘𝚜, you've fulfilled 20 prophecies!

( I don’t understand please explain I dumb dumb)

(Ha ty ty.)

(Um I think that there are other creatures down here and he was trying to lure them out?)

(3katsime is right)

(For food?)

(yes)

(Damn that’s messed up. Why wasn’t he with the rest of his kind tho?)

(Perhaps they yolo-squad?) (edited)

(we'll see)

(Wait we cant have yolo squaring because then there is not larger fight?)

(Are we close now?)

(No)

16:30

(Idk, I kinda wasn’t to stretch this role play for like another week before we start a new one)

16:30

(So are we going to have the big fight)

16:30

(Soon?)

Jexus shook his heady slightly at the body in front of them. “Well, at least we know what we’re up against now. We should be going; if this one was starving others will be too, and this body will drag them out soon.”

Genor got up and began his feeble attempts to lift up the fainted Rat.

"Good news is, this may mean that the others are starving too. That may be why they want our part of the Underland." Demeter suggested.

Howard gently pushed Genor away from Shredder, and with a grunt lifted the rat onto the remaining Moths’ back, asking them to fly as steadily as possible.

Genor let Howard handle Shredder and looked at Demeter. “Well, then perhaps a fight isn’t necessary. Perhaps, we can reason with them?”

"I hope so." Demeter said, extending a wing for Michael and Smokeswirl to climb up again.

“we shouldn’t, at least as of now.” Onora had added with a shake of her head. She wobbled over to Jexus with her staff dragging blood across the smooth tunnels floor. She tried her best to get onto his furry back.

Genor looked up to Demeter. “May I?”

Jexus leaned down to let Onora on his back as easily as possible. It killed him to watch as she struggled to live without her leg, but he had been trying his best to make life as easy as possible for her, but he knew deep down it wasn’t enough.

Demeter nodded.

Genor got on Demeter’s back. “I have a question for you Smokeswirl.”

She grabbed hold of his fur, boosting herself up with her one leg. This was the only thing she wasn’t good at. “Thank you.”

Jexus purred slightly. Sure, things weren’t great right now, but he had finally been spending time with Onora, learning about her life.

Smokeswirl looked at him and nodded. "What?" She asked sharply.

Genor was taken aback by the sharpness of her voice, but decided to continue on with the question. “How do Rats get their names? I’ve been wondering this for a long time, and I’m bored now.”

"Our parents name us. Don't yours do the same?"

Genor nodded is head. “Well, Yes, but not such, vicious names. Is there like Rats with very mild names that I have never met before or...?”

Howard snorted. “There was once a gnawer called ‘Shed’. Does that count?”

Genor starting laughing. “Wait. So we have a Ripred, a Shredder, a Lapblood, a Coilthroat, a Smokeswirl, and a Shed???”

(is the bane's real name public knowledge? it was pearlpelt)

(Nah don’t think so)

(durn)

Onora sat upright on him, scanning the cave for any loose rocks she could play with. She gave a huff.

human

(onora is a toddler)

(Its the only toy I had BE QUIET)

(Why does she want a toyyy)

Jexus looked at Genor strangely as he passed the toy to Onora

(SHE WANTED A ROCK TO PLAY WITH IM SORRY I GAVE HER SMTHNG RANDOM)

(SHES NOT A LITTLE KID THO)

(WELL I DONT HAVE ROCKS IN MY BAG)

16:42

(OR A DS)

(WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO)

(picks up popcorn and leans back in seat)

16:47

"Go On."

"You looked bored, so you can have this to fiddle with. It was my little sisters... Before she died. Just don't lose it. " Genor solemnly replied to provide explanation. (edited)

(i'm a frickin chick magnet)

16:57

(sister's)

16:58

Michael sighed and leaned back. He felt something on his head, turned around, and saw that Smokeswirl (@Lenn) was there. He blushed, sat straight up, and immediately apologized. (edited)

(romantic)

(ikr)

16:59

(this can be our ship)

(no rats are grody)

Smokeswirl grimaced and flicked her tail, more annoyed than usual. She hated flying. "Whatever, I'm used to humans taking up more space than they need." She shot a glare at the Regalians.

comfort

(she's so dRAMATIC SKSKSK)

(lol i was trying to see if she was more warmed up to me but she wasnt)

17:02

Michael sighed with embarrassment. He hunched over uncomfortably.

human

(if you try talking to her I can make her warm up a bit ^^)

(GENOR SHOUTED "WARM UP TO ME YOU RAT!")

(No it’s okay I promise)

17:05

(don’t bully me)

He looked down at Demeter. “How are you? With the stress of the war and stuff?”

"As of now, I am... sad. Floss' death was quite sudden, and they treated us very well."

(Have fun)

“Yeah, that sucks,” he said solemnly. (WHY’D YOU KILL THEM WOLF)

Demeter nodded, and looked over to the stone-grey moth who had been flying with them. It was easy to forget they were there, as they blended in, and rarely spoke. "Were you two close?" She spoke tenderly and kindly.

( @Lenn are you gonna answer buddy)

(oh yea i forgot i was controlling them XD)

(Somebody needs to make a moth OC)

17:43

(And they need to be able to carry Ripred, that would make life easier)

(Yes please)

Satin's wings faltered momentarily, but regained their steady flutter. "Yes, we were a mated pair." Their voice was even quieter than Floss'.

(Aww)

(Oh I thought you said it was Satan)

“I’m so sorry to hear that,” Michael said, looking at them.

17:45

(Can someone adopt satin pls)

(Wolfs pretty good at it)

(She already has two though)

17:46

(But if she wants)

(I might)

17:50

"We have many offspring. Their genes will long live on in the Kingdom." The moth said, though they seemed greatly crestfallen still.

(Y’all wanna continue to rp?)

(yes)

(Yes)

As time passed, the fliers became weary. Demeter suggested that they land and rest.

Genor looked at her oddly. “I just kind of assumed that, well, bats never got tired. I mean, I’ve only seen you stop for the group before.”

Michael looked at him oddly. "I just kind of assumed that, well, you knew that every living creature gets tired- that's kind of how it works."

20:30

(thats how mafia works)

Genor looked away in embarrassment. “Well, I just kind of- well-“

"It is fine. Our world is very different from yours." Demeter said, landing lightly on the smooth ground.

“I know, I was just making a joke,” Michael said.

Genor nodded back silently. He wasn’t the best at sarcasm or understanding jokes.

“Sorry if it came off the wrong way,” (Michael said, kissing Genor on the head.)

(Genor kisses him back.)

“No no, it isn’t your fault. I’m just not the best with Human Interaction.”

comfort

(I love you @Virtual Ripred)

20:50

Smokeswirl lay down near the cave wall, watching the rest of the group prepare sleeping arrangements. She fell asleep before they did.

(Wait how can I rp with you if your asleep)

(Demeter is woke and is on guard duty, also smokeswirl has sometimes loud nightmares if anyone wants to try n be friends with her @(moved accounts) Mikl Pickle ) (edited)

(Yes mikl And Smokeswirl I boat it)

15:07

Genor looked over tiredly to Demeter. “Why do you always take guard duty? I mean you bats must sleep too.” (edited)

Demeter shrugged. “I have not taken guard duty in a while, and we do take shifts. I just figured it was my turn.”

Genor looked over Demeter. “Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”

“I would not mind at all.” She smiled. “Anything is better than sitting in silence.”

(Hewwo)

(scratch this make smokeswirl and howard be besties)

Genor nodded quietly, and then threw dozens of questions at her. "Why do bats fur color vary so much? Why is Aroura's golden, but no one else's is? Can you sleep and fly at the same time? How much do bats sleep each day? Why do seemingly only human's and bats bond together? Why are the rats hating the humans so much? And why do you still use the Customary system?"

comfort

(I love you VR)

“That is... a lot of questions.” Demeter groomed her fur with her claws. “One at a time. We have all night.”

"Okay, what about the fur color question?"

(tahts a stupid question)

(Shut up you bully)

(like would you ask why cats are different colours?)

“I’m not sure. I suppose it’s just the way we are. Aurora’s coat is simply an uncommon color. Gnawers also have a variety of colors.”

(Idk, why is Aurora's color golden? Like no other bats have golden)

15:43

(Fine you know what Genor's stupid leave him alone please Doctor)

(I guess it’s just rarer)

15:44

(Goldshard was also gold)

15:44

(Rip)

"Well can you sleep and fly at the same time? Like Mindlessly?"

“I suppose that sometimes I zone out while flying. Like, on long trips with minimal steering. But no, I don’t think we can sleep and fly.”

"Well, have you ever tested how far you can fly without resting?"

Demeter stared at him for a second. “No, I can’t say I have. Maybe another Flier has, though.”

(I thought bats didn’t get tired

(You butthead)

Michael lazily shuffled over to Genor and Demeter. He was really tired. And probably dying.

(Don't die)

15:58

(Man I wish Temp was here)

“You alright, Michael?” Demeter asked.

“Yeah, I’m just really tired. And probably dying.”

Genor looked over him in concern. "That isn't favorable."

Demeter jolted up. “Dying? Wake Howard!” She turned to flutter over to Howard, who was asleep.

“I was just joking, Demeter,” he said, slightly concerned but a little amused.

She tilted her head, returning to where she had been sitting. “Oh, I am not familiar with overlander jokes.”

“It’s not funny down here. I shouldn’t have said it. I just don’t feel good.”

Howard was awoken by all the shouting. "Whatisit?" he asked groggily.

Genor slowly nodded. "Jokes, I remember when I had time to make those."

(Drama queen)

"No." Howard mumbled before rolling around and falling back alseep.

(Wow Howard Mikl is dying)

“Maybe you should get some rest, Michael.” Demeter said in a concerned tone.

Genor shook his head in a no. "Don't rest Michael, come and converse with us. I've found that sleeping doesn't do much."

(We just landed and ppl are sleepin and talkin)

(howard got rudely awakened from his sleeep but other than that nothing)

(He said no)

(Ferret attack)

16:21

(DEMETER THOUGHT HE WAS DYING CHILL HAHAHSH)

(okay whatever lets go)

16:21

(so what should happen?)

In her sleep, Smokeswirl was plagued by nightmares. It was average for her, but tonight, she happened to cry out loudly.

Jexus was sitting quietly against the cave wall, occasionally glancing over at the conversations happening around him. His eye was hurting less and less now, but he was suddenly startled by Smokeswirl crying out.

Genor walked over to her and gently shook her. "Smoke, are you okay?"

(inb4 she says "dont call me smoke")

(I'll just call her swirl instead)

Smokedwirl jolted out of her sleep, panting and looking around in distress. “Don’t... call... me... Smoke...” She said between breaths. (edited)

(Wait Jexus how was your eye hurting when it was gone)

(His lack of eye hurtin)

Genor silently laughed, but said nothing from the comment. "What were you dreaming about?"

(blackbite probably)

(Omg no we don't talk about that you insensitive jerk)

“Nothing.” She snapped.

Genor gently rested his hand on her, and whispered quietly. "Please, we can't keep on keeping secrets from each other. It breaks the group and yourself." (edited)

She forcefully wiped a tear from her eye, hoping that nobody would notice. “Why does it matter to you?”

Michael gently rested his hand on him (Genor) and whispered quietly. “She doesn’t have to tell you if she doesn’t want to. Some things are better to keep private.”

Genor looked at him. "And those things will come out one way or another, and if you put it off for to long, then you have no control in the ways you express it."

“Not always. Most of the time, it stays hidden. I’ve got tons of secrets.”

(No not)

16:39

(I don't think you understand how it works)

Onora sat there. Her head in her palms as she shook violently from the temperature.

Smokeswirl looked down. “I have nightmares every time I sleep. It’s nothing new.”

"Yes, but I do not recall you waking up and screaming in your sleep."

Jexus lay down beside Onora and wrapped his wings around her to shield her from the cold.

16:49

(Awwwwwwwwwwwww) (edited)

16:49

(Yes I just ‘awww’ed my own message shut up)

Smokeswirl huffed. "It's normal. Usually I just wake myself up. I'm pretty sure everyone in the Underland has nightmares like that."

16:50

(smokeswirl you DUNCE)

“Why are you so pissed all the time?” Jexus blurted out suddenly. He was tired of Smokeswirl being rude and demeaning. “Is really so hard for you to be with us?”

16:51

(O dam)

Ripred randomly blurted out, "Nightmares!" And fell back asleep. (edited)

Smokeswirl bared her teeth at him. "Yes, Jexus, it is. Being near humans and Fliers brings back memories I would rather forget!"

comfort

(I I forgot Ripred was here)

(Same)

Jexus stared back, unmoved. “And I assume those memories specifically contain us? Because imagine if you were blaming someone for something they didn’t do. That wouldn’t be right, would it?”

(Lol I love how he says it when she isn’t being rude)

She elbowed him in the side, hoping he got the message. Onora wasn’t to thrilled at Smokeswirl either, but she felt a pang of sympathy.

She lashed her scarred tail. "Any one of the Underlanders here would not have hesitated to kill me in the past. Regalians and Fliers came to our lands and practically hunted us for sport!" Smokeswirl spat.

Genor looked shocked. “Is this true?”

“Iwould not’ve... ya know... killed you.” Howard mumbled sleepily from the corner.

16:57

(Wouldn’t’ve)

(I mean he did almost let Smokeswirl die even though he’d sworn to help anyone in danger with water but mmmkay)

(what)

(Twitchtip Not Smokeswirl, sorry lol)

(that was twitchtip dumbdumv)

16:58

(He was a different man back then)

16:58

(Less hot)

(How is he so good at healing)

(Nerd) (edited)

(Practice)

(Hes good at water healing, like fixing up drowned people, not people with missing eyeballs)

(He’s a doctor)

(No he became a proper doctor after CoW)

(Oh)

16:59

(Crap)

Onora had looked at Howard, even though he wouldn’t kill her—-others would? Didn’t everyone practically like In harmony up until now?

(Anyway Michael do you want your book back or do you want me to give you both of them at once)

Jexus cast a glance down at Onora when she poked him, but he want finished. “But do you deny the same for your species? If you or your pack came across a defenceless Underlander, would you let them go with a pat on the back and some extra food?” he said mockingly. (edited)

"I don't give a damn about your people. I avoid you, and I always have."

Genor looked at him in disgust, taking Smokeswirl’s side. “Well what if you were to come across a pack of defenseless rats in the Underland, half starved. What would you do?”

"Do you know how many humans I have killed?" She said, baring her teeth and rising to her feet. She looked away from Jexus, and around at the rest of the group. "Any of you want to take a guess?"

comfort

She glared back at Jexus. "One. I have killed one."

Jexus smirked slightly. “So you admit an individual’s actions aren’t related to the actions of their species?” he said, referencing her earlier point.

17:08

(Damn this is intense)

"Is this a game to you, now? Debate the rat? I don't give a damn if you're innocent. I hate you, your kind, and your allies. And that will not change."

17:09

(dayUM smokeswirl)

17:09

(that's RACIST)

(WOW)

17:10

Jexus’ tone softened slightly. “Then what are you still doing here?”

Smokeswirl growled and turned away, limping off to the edge of the group with her back turned.

(Okay everyone feel free to get mad at Jexus now)

(wow smokeswirl why didnt u answer)

17:12

(i think smokeswirl might secretly care just an itty bitty bit)

(Demeter hit Jexus on the head because he’s a prick)

17:13

(Wow Smokeswirl needs some friends)

(smokeswirl needs to stop being edgy)

17:15

Demeter glanced at Jexus, though she had remained silent throughout the entire argument. She admired Jexus, but couldn't stand that conversation. "That was unkind." She whispered.

17:15

(wow you've disappointed mama demeter)

(“Admired” Yeah Yeah we all know what that means ;])

(;-))

Jexus stood silently staring at Smokeswirl. “Perhaps so,” he whispered almost inaudibly. “Our group is falling apart at the edges.”

Genor shook his head at Jexus’ actions and attempted to follow Smokeswirl.

"We cannot argue like this. We have worse enemies outside our group." She replied in a similarly low tone.

(OH MY GOSH DEMETER IS ACTUALLY MAD AT SOMEONE)

(Dw I deserved it)

17:20

Jexus lapped back into silence, staring intently at the wall. “I know” he whispered finally. “I should apologise.”

17:20

(Brb)

(I know but Demeter hasn’t gotten mad at anyone ever)

(demeter's peak anger is closer to severe disappointed)

Michael was fully awake now. He watched Jexus and Smokeswirl sadly.

17:22

(I want to see Demeter get super angry and slap someone)

Demeter nodded solemnly. "I like you, Jexus, I really do. But you must try to empathize with the others." She sighed. "I am going to rest." She fluttered a few feet away, and lay on the ground, nearly passing out the second she dropped.

(Did she just admit that she has a crush on Jexus)

(art is up to interpretation)

Geor finally caught up with Smokeswirl. “Please don’t go... We need you. Your an essential part of our group. Please.”

(she didn't leave u dunce she just went to the outskirt of the group)

(Geor is very dramatic)

(XD)

(Oh)

17:26

(Geor is dramatic)

(Petition to have Smokeswirl canonically call Genor a dunce)

Smokeswirl didn't speak. She just looked down the tunnel into nothingness, sitting as still as a statue.

Onora rolled her eyes. Jexus was always trying to be the ‘right’ one. She helped herself up, picking up the staff, walking over to Someswirl. The halflander sat down next to her, her leg hanging off of the edge they were on. “Ignore him.”

(Yeah ignore Geor we have no idea who they are)

(I hate Geor)

(She’s talking bout Jexus)

(I know it was a joke lady)

(Woah let’s watch our language)

(Wow di you just assume her gender)

(Lol as you say her)

(Dammit you tricked me)

(Wow Doctor did you just assume her gender in criticizing someone for there gender)

(No I used my scientific study to prove her gender)

17:31

(Jexus feels bad now btw)

Smokeswirl grumbled as Onora spoke, practically unable to form her own words. She was seething with anger, and overwrought with exhaustion.

(Why does atmos come in, send one message, then disappear again?)

17:33

(Watch I bet she does it again)

(No she won’t)

17:35

(She’ll drop two messages)

17:36

(Jk Attie pls don’t kick me from the server)

Onora had wanted to rat to do something. As she didn’t want to see her like this. The halflander put something into the water pale, it was clear. She gave Smokeswirl the water, and poured it into her mouth hoping she’d swallow. “You need the water.”

(OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS SKIDDLY-BOPNACIOUS PLEHGMACIOUS SHE SENT 1 MESSAGES so who was right (quick attie leave and never come back so I will be right))

17:38

(Don’t you dare send another message)

17:38

(I see you typing)

Onora sat next to her, studying the reaction of Smokeswirl. Hopefully the water helped.

17:38

(>:) )

(NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU)

(NO SHE SENT THREE)

(ily to much)

(Okay now go confront Jexus)

17:39

(OmG it’s FOUR now)

17:40

(tALK tO JExUs hEs sAD)

(I WiLl OnCe WoLF RePlIeS)

Smokeswirl hesitantly drank the water. She hadn't drank anything in a while. She sighed, the weight of the day crashing down on her.

(I SAW THAT)

(YOU HAVE NO PROOF) (edited)

Onora rubbed her hands together, hoping she’d crash soon. She looked back a Jexus, jumping off the small ledge as she fell quite a distance. She grinned.

17:45

(MY EYES HAVE PROOF)

(Wait What)

17:45

(What did sthat message even mean)

17:47

(Does she want him to catch her or what?)

(Sbwuxensnwidn)

(Unfortunately I don’t speak keyboard smash)

(Yes, Yes She does)

(Wait saw what)

(I am fluent in cat-on-keyboard, which whilst it bears similarities to keyboard smash is in fact an entirely different structure and syntax)

(ab;jfdnhfgalfkjdasmg';aslfbjdaskljfdksa)

(Good, how’s your day?)

(Hh)

Jexus almost lazily flew over to Onora, catching her then wincing as she punched him.

(fapbidufbsadifpjkjghll)

(LANGUAGE PLEASE)

Onora didn’t punch him, she LIGHTLY KNOCKED into him. She smiled.

(Ghfdasfhpibjasd)

(i gotta go)

Jexus flew silently, taking them a couple of miles away from the rest of the group before finally setting down. He hung his head.

17:53

(Byebye)

(that is unsafe smh)

(Hush you silly duck we’ll be fine)

“What is wrong?” Onora asked quietly, flexing her hands. She gripped her staff tightly. She kinda wanted to know. (edited)

(and then a big prowler came along and ate them)

Jexus spoke quietly “I was unkind. I should not have said those things.”

17:58

But then he looked Onora in the eye. “But there is a bigger problem. Our group, this group, is falling apart. If we continue like this, we will all die.”

17:58

(They should do what the kids in It did to join together again)

(What did they do?)

(Child orgy it was a weird scene okay)

(Wait)

18:03

(Yeah no that's pretty accurate)

She nodded slightly. Onora flinched before responding to his statement. “It was. Hopefully she is asleep by now.” The halflander continued grinning.

18:04

(Look, I don’t like no horror movies ok? Send me to one and I’ll walk straight outta there)

(Who said anything about the movie we’re talking books)

18:05

Jexus sighed. “Why did we come on this?” he asked, gently lowering himself to the ground.

(Cause your a jerk)

(Didn’t know there was a book)

(Steven King Novels are Godly)

(IKR)

“You were needed. I—just came at a inconvenient time. I have caused us to slow, greatly.” She said, giving out a huff and a great look of dismay. Onora had looked at amputated leg.

(Have you read a lot of them?)

(Not many, but I really want too read more after the I finsih TUC's) (edited)

(They’re all so good. My personal fav is probably Pet Semetary)

18:10

Jexus gently nuzzled his head against her shoulder. “No,” he whispered, trying to comfort her. “None of what happened to us is your fault. You were just... unlucky.”

human

(The Shining though... that book is something else)

(Its all Jexus' fault)

Onora had looked at him with a slight smile. She brushed her hair over her shoulder. “I guess.” (edited)

(Ima go sleep now night y’all)

(Night)

(Night!)

It has been an hour or so since the big showdown, and Jexus and Genor we’re keeping watch.

(Did Demeter force them to take watch together?)

After standing in a brief silence for 10 minutes, Genor finally talked. “You know, you really shouldn’t have done that.”

17:21

(Yeah sure I guess)

Jexus was silent for a couple seconds. “Yes.” he whispered quietly. “I am sorry.” (edited)

Genor was taken aback by Jexus’ reaction. “Well, if you you knew it wasn’t the best idea, then why did you do it?”

Jexus sighed gently. “I am sure you have done things in the heat of moment that you regret later.” he said, finally casting a small glance at Genor.

Genor’s face fell. “My parents did.” He quietly whispered. “Thats why they aren’t here.” After a few minutes of silence, he spoke up again. “But thats all the more reason to keep your feelings in check.”

Jexus lay his head on the ground with a slightly hum of agreement. “This group is falling apart. We are getting tired of each other.” (edited)

Genor nodded his head in agreement. “We must finish this quest quickly. Or they with kill us off, if we aren’t a team. Perhaps Team building excersises? Are those even a thing down here?”

Jexus laughed slightly. “I suppose we sometimes do military drills with focus on teamwork?”

“Close enough. Well, perhaps we could throw them off a cliff and hope that they save each other?”

Jexus snorted again. “We do that to babies sometimes”

Genor looked at him in concern. “Really? Has anybody died?”

Jexus noticed his expression and quickly switched his tone. “What? Oh, no. It is just to lessen their fear of heights and such. The fliers would never let anyone fall.”

“Well...? Has anyone died?”

“No.” Jexus said, slightly confused.

17:43

(Brb)

(Wow you have stuff to do)

17:43

(Pathetic)

17:43

(Jk)

(Back)

(kcaB)

17:48

“Well, how are your parents?”

Jexus frowned slightly. “It does not matter. Fliers do not form as strong relationships with their parents as humans do. Yes, they raise us and care for us, but after we have matured...”

Genor looked shocked. “Then they throw you off a cliff and then fly away?”

Jexus was getting increasingly worried by Genor’s obsession with throwing things off cliffs. “No, we just separate. By that time a flier can fend for itself, and may even have a bond. The parents just... leave.” (edited)

“Do you throw them off a cliff?”

“No.” Jexus said, frustrated. “You just go your separate ways.”

“So you both jump off a cliff?”

Jexus reached round and gently hit Genor on the head with his wing. “Shut up.”

(Genor went spiraling off the cliff.)

(gently)

(He continued his decent) (edited)

(But Jexus misjudged the swing because of his eye and went tumbling down the cliff himself.)

Genor snorted, then straightened himself up. “Sorry, that wasn’t very formal, and it seems that you Underlanders seem to hate informality.”

18:00

(They both together and Onora watched in horror.)

(but Jexus manages to swing closer and kiss Genor before they both smashed open on the rocks below)

18:01

(Boom bucket list done)

(Genor kisses him passionately as they died.)

Jexus grinned. “It may seem that way, but your customs are just as strange to us as ours are to you.”

18:04

Jexus shifted slightly. “What... what is life like up there?”

Genor sat down, ready for a long conversation. “Which type of life? Mine or normal peoples?”

“Yours.” Jexus said, genuinely interested.

“Well, before or after my parents died?”

“Before. When you still had... normality.”

“Well, we have a currency up there. Just like you have down here. And people had to do jobs to earn the currency, and the currency is used to buy items, such as food, houses, furniture etcetera. My parents didn’t have a job that have them a lot of money, so we’re left without much, so we had stale food every night for dinner, breakfast, and lunch. And of course my daily routine, you want to know that. Wait, how are kids educated down here?”

18:16

(Sorry if I’m being so inconsistent with my response timing, I’m running errands right now)

Jexus sat back up, full of questions about the information had just been bombarded with, “Uhh... I am no expert, but I believe they are taught basic skills and knowledge up until the age of twelve. For humans, that is. Flier pups are very different.”

Congratulations, @DrBracewell, you've fulfilled 22 prophecies!

(Congrats!)

(Lit)

“Well, we have a system down there, but all you needed to know is that I was considered to be middle-aged in my quest to be considered an adult. I woke up at 6:00 am, which is early for kids my age, and I practically got ready for school for around two hours. Then I went to school for seven hours, and can back to do about 3 hours of homework, ate dinner, and went to sleep. We did this Monday-Friday, and only got relief and rest on Saturday and Sunday.” (edited)

Jexus did not know how to respond. He did not understand half of what those words meant. “Okay... and what about after your parents... deaths?” he asked in a softer tone.

Genor cleared his throat, this question taking out his rambling-high. He spoke in s very soft tone. “One night, when my parents were having fun with a couple of their friends. I was sleeping. I woke up to the sound of drunken people yelling at each other for something about sleeping with someone else, and then there were gunshots. Three times, he hit my dad in the heart, and 4 times he shot my mom in the stomach. There was silence, and then they ran. And ran downstairs, and tried to help them. I really did... and then I was at the police station every day for two weeks. One of the police workers was building a case on me, trying to prove that I killed my parents. One night, I flew into a rage, and took a knife and went to their house. And then, well, you know what happens...” His voices trailed off, and he broke down in tears. Heart-wrenching, body shaking sobs.

Jexus stared for a couple seconds, before gently wrapping Genor in his wings and hugging him.

18:31

(“no homo” he whispered under his breath)

“My fault... my fault. I should have been down there, to even protect my little sister from the shot that missed and hit him... and then I killed those parents.... they had a kid. I’m evil...”

18:33

(All homo)

Jexus said nothing as he tightly hugged Genor against his fur, thinking of his own loss. They stayed like that for a long time, Genor crying himself out as Jexus’ one eye stared unblinking out into the darkness.

Genor wrapped Jexus’ around him tighter, and eventually his sobbing stopped, and a comfortable silence fell between them, as they stared out into the darkness.

“And then what happened?” Jexus finally asked. “How did you come... here?”

“I was up in the laundry room, stealing clothes for myself. It was something I needed to do. And then I saw this one kid jump in a giant vent. I jumped in after him in an attempt to save him if he got hurt, but I never landed in the basement floor.”

Jexus nodded before laying back down. “I lost my first bond.” he said suddenly, looking away from Genor.

Gebor stroked Jexus’ ear softly. “What happened?” (edited)

(Wow that’s inappropriate touching)

(Hush child)

Jexus’ head was slumped on the ground. His scarred eye glistened in the torchlight. “There was... a flood. We tried to save them, all of them. Gnawers, humans, whoever. But my bond got pulled off my back when I went to save...” Jexus glanced over at Ripred. “him.”

18:44

Jexus laughed slightly, but it sounded hollow. “I barely think he remembers it. He was half-mad, screaming for his mate and cubs. I dumped him with the rest of the gnawers then went back to look for my bond. I... I never found him.”

18:45

Jexus lurched slightly, as if realising what he had just said. “I mean, I looked for him before I picked up Ripred, but... by then I knew he was gone.”

While Genor was under Jexus’ wing hugging Genor, it felt like Genor needed to embrace him back to comfort him. “I’m, I’m very sorry to hear that. Shredders disappearance nearly drove me insane.” (edited)

18:47

“I can’t imagine how you must have felt...” (edited)

Jexus voice became sadder. “It’s strange. You never realise how much you need someone until they are gone.” he glanced over at Onora, sleeping peacefully next to Demeter, then at Shredder. (edited)

Genor nodded back, and there was a certain bond that had formed between them at this point between them. He thought that he could consider Jexus a friend now. They continued their hug in silence ~~watching the sunset~~ sitting quietly in the darkness.

Jexus started suddenly. “That was around four hours. We should wake up others, rest ourselves.”

Genor nodded quietly, unwillingly breaking apart their embrace. They sat in the cave as Jexus woke others up.

18:54

(You can wake up Shredder and Howard if you want) (edited)

18:55

(Or If you gtg that’s why you ended it off)

18:59

(Good night then Doctor)

Demeter woke up, and sat stiffly to take on guard duties. She didn't meet Jexus' gaze. (edited)

(Wait can I join in?)

(sure)

(Ay my depression is cured)

Jexus was feeling better after his conversation with Genor, but still didn’t talk to Smokeswirl. He lay down next to Onora and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Shredder awoke with Genors gentle nudge, and fell asleep curled under Jexus’ wing.

Howard was awoken by all the noise, and stretched his arms before wandering over to Demeter.

Shredder walked up to Demeter for her guard duties.

19:12

(Two creatures, one Howard)

19:13

“Well, isn’t this a lovely little group for guard duties.” Shredder commented wryly.

Howard groaned slightly, still tired after his short sleep.

“Oh hush. You aren’t a pup, your almost a man. You can deal with lack of sleep.”

Howard put his head in his hands and glared at her silently.

“What? Is it something I said?” Shredder said in a sarcastic tone. (edited)

(Okay Nah I’m tired ima sleep now)

19:18

(Night yall)

(Finally this child agrees to sleep)

19:18

(Goodnight!)

"Evening, Shredder, Howard." Demeter said with a nod and smile.

Smokeswirl got up, grimacing, and stretched. "We should get moving."

(We should ban Michael that fricker)

(Hey >:3)

Shredder reluctantly left hesitatingly from her spot, her eyes now tired. Genor stirred and woke up Ripred, who had managed to get to the point where they could get a few words out of him.

Smokeswirl walked over to Ripred with a stony look on her face. "How is he?"

“Leave?” Ripred mumbled a few more random words and started tearing into a stone.

14:45

Shredder sighed in disappointment. “Look at him. I fear he needs a big motive for him to return. In fact.” Shredders voice dropped to a whisper. “I fear he is gone.”

Howard glanced sadly at Ripred. It pained him that he could not help the rat. He had vowed to keep anyone from harm, but did not know what to do with Ripred.

Smokeswirl's face dropped. She had unresolved business with Ripred, and wanted him to recover. "A shame. What kind of motivation do you mean?"

Shredder struggles to find the words. “Creatures are designed to live. If he is at the point of death, then perhaps he could come back. But it only happens in one out of every one thousand cases.” (edited)

(I mean they also are designed to reproduce)

(Shut up)

(Smokeswirl and shredder will finally be useful)

(OH NO)

(I’m still mad at you >:()

14:51

(SHUT UP)

(Fartbrain)

(SHUT UP)

"That's fortunate, then, because these lands are dangerous. We may well have multiple opportunities for that." Smokeswirl said.

(reproducing you mean?)

“I mean,” Michael said in a quiet voice. “They were evolutionarily designed to mate. Maybe...?” He decided not to finish the sentence.

(yes definitely)

Howard sat back trying to to laugh at the conversation.]

"Don't finish that sentence, Michael." Smokeswirl said sharply.

“It doesn’t matter most of the time. They simply perish at the claws of another Gnawer quite often. It would require... strong emotional strength to put it. And Ripred is not known for being the emotional type...”

“I mean, if you don’t want to, maybe we could get Shredder to do it?”

(KSDKFDKFSHFDS)

“Shut up.” Shredder and Genor said in unison. (edited)

“It’s true, I’m just stating the facts. Also I kinda ship it...”

("well, if it's for the greater good...")

(SHUT UP)

(No u)

(IM STILL SALTY SO SHUT UP)

"Ship...?" Demeter asked.

“It is such as suggesting that someone may be someone’s spouse in the future.” Genor spat.

“Relation-ship,” he said. “It means...” “Oh man, I can’t believe I’m explaining shipping to a giant bat.” he thought to himself.

Demeter cringed a bit at the whole conversation. "That is... odd."

“It is, so I suggest that we drop it now.”

Michael blushed. “I mean... it’s true...”

“Drop. It.”

Michael mumbled something and then went quiet. (edited)

Genor shot Michael a glance and piped up. “So, when are we leaving?” (edited)

Smokeswirl whapped Michael on the back of the head with her tail, before approaching Demeter. "Let's go." (edited)

“Yes...”

Michael rubbed the back of his head and quietly said something with the word true in it.

“No. No it isn’t.”

“Yes it is,” Michael whispered, so quietly that nobody could hear. “It was just a suggestion,”

“I don’t think that... you know that I don’t think she likes...” Genor shut up.

“I thought you said to drop it,” Michael said. (edited)

“Well you aren’t Kichael.”

Demeter fluttered her wings. "Alright, alright, let's go."

(Best conversation ever)

Genor cleared her throat. “Yes, let us go. Now, who shall I depart on?”

15:06

(Shut up)

(Oh hush)

(hsuh hO)

Smokeswirl climbed onto Demeter's back. "Let us never speak of this again."

“Yes. Never.” Genor agreed earnestly.

15:08

(Please Doctor y’all all this yellow is driving me crazy please talk and show off your green) (edited)

Michael resisted the urge to laugh as he joined Smokeswirl.

“Jexus, may I leave on you?” (edited)

Genor lay behind Onora, uncomfortable with her leg situation. “You don’t need help, right Onora?” (edited)

“Is everyone on a bat?” Genor asked, looking around.

Demeter looked around and nodded. "Let us depart."

Jexus launched off, taking the lead. He followed the cave southward.

Demeter kept her distance from Jexus, to keep tensions lower. With Smokeswirl on her back, she didn't want to deal with more arguments.

After a few minute of silence, Genor finally asked what had been bugging him. “So, it took us around two months to get here. Does that mean it will take two months to get back too? I know it seems obvious, but I don’t think our group could handle that, so I sorta hoped that there was an alternate solution...” (edited)

"We'll figure it out later. Now we have to focus on surviving and keeping them out of Regalia." Smokeswirl said.

Genor nodded his head.

Jexus shrugged. "The trip has taken a long time because of injuries and ambushes. We wasted a lot of time with the moths as well. Hopefully the journey back will be shorter and less treacherous."

Genor nodded his head in agreement. “I guess we’ll find out.” (edited)

"I apologize for keeping us with the moths. But I could not fly without reopening my wounds." Demeter had felt truly guilty about that.

“Yes, and if we all go around apologizing for things that stopped the group that was out of our control, then we would be here another two months.”

Howard shook his head "Do not blame yourself. We all had injuries, and we needed to rest."

Demeter looked down. "I suppose."

“Yes, and I apologize for arguing with the group for day, and for almost dying. I’m sure that held you up. And I’m sure Ripred’s sorry for going into one of the crazed frenzies and yelled to get an army of rats attention almost got you all almost killed.”

Jexus snorted slightly. He had come to appreciate Genor's dry sense of humour

“And I’m sure everyone’s very sorry for fainting every other day.” (edited)

16:10

“You see my point? No one has done any wrongs on this trip. Well, except for me.” Genor remembered when he was being a real di** to everybody.

"Alright, I'm sorry for apologizing so much. Wait." Demeter said and chuckled.

Genor chuckled.

Jexus laughed too. He was beginning to like Demeter. How kind and caring she was, how funny.

(I ship it again)

16:23

Genor noticed Jexus’ soft expression towards Demeter, and smiled. At least some good had come from this wretched trip. Many friendships were created and strengthened, and that feeling comforted Genor.

human

(Jexus killed Genor for looking at him)

(Cute)

(The Demeter thing or the Genor killing thing?)

(Both)

(he's right)

(Ha)

After an hour or so of silence, Genor quietly whispered into Jexus' ear. "What was the flooding that happened? You mentioned it before, and it seemed to break you, and I don't want to push you, but I am a little curious... I admit."

18:12

(Oh your typing lol sorry)

Jexus sighed slightly. “It was called the Garden of Hesperides. In one of the times where relations with Gnawers were still peaceful, the humans gave it to them as a gift. It was a beautiful place” Jexus sounded wistful. “But then war began, as it always does. Luxa’s uncle led an attack there. It seemed to be going well, as the rats were more intent on saving their cubs than fighting back. But the tides soon turned, and we began losing. So he opened the dike and led water flood into the plain.” Jexus broke off suddenly. He took a deep breath. “It was meant to be controlled, to wash the gnawers away. But the water was too powerful. It overflew the banks, and completely covered the Garden. Her uncle lost his bond, Ripred his mate and cubs, and I... The place is fully underwater now. Many lives were lost.”

comfort

Genor eyes flashed in anger and confusion. "Why would any human be okay with that? I understand that it was a war, but that is downright evil."

comfort

(Oh yes VR I love you)

Jexus was quiet for a moment. “Everyone does things they regret. After Luxa’s uncle saw the damage he had caused, he began trying to save anyone and everyone. They say he went insane after he lost his bond, but I believe it was the amount of death he had caused. He could not live with himself.”

"So he... he killed himself?" Genor whispered quietly.

“No.” Jexus said simply. “He ran away. He left behind Regalia, his family, all of it. I do not know what happened after, but there are rumours that he survived in the Jungle alone for ten years. He is dead now, however, that much is common knowledge. He had a child, Hazard, who lives with Queen Luxa now.”

18:20

“A half lander.” Jexus added, almost as an afterthought.

Onora had sat, listening to their conversation about the flood.

Jexus fell into silence again, remembering that day.

18:25

(Someone say something)

Onora slowy dosed off.

(That’s not SAYING SOMETHING

)

(I know >:] )

( @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes) save me from the misery that is atmos)

(You're cruel)

(Haha)

Genor started into a violent coughing fit, waking up Onora.

(I am the mother with wolf)

18:30

(We must be lesbian together)

(I'm sorry I must report to Father Well)

(I ship Onora and Smokeswirl)

18:31

(And throw in Howard as well because why not)

(Ikr)

(Da heck why dr)

(That's Dr. Doctor to you)

(That’s Sir Doctor Bracewell to you)

(Dr)

(SIR)

(Sir brace)

(Mister Doctor Bracewell Sir)

(Crack)

(Doctoring)

(Oh)

18:33

(Was I close?)

(Then Dr. Dr)

(Dr. Doctor)

(START BACK UP THE RP WITH YOUR DOCTORING SKILLS) (edited)

Howard glanced over from Nike’s back when Genor started coughing violently, but soon decided he was fine. ~~he winked at Onora~~

Onora’s body became limp as she slept. The half lander wobbled around on Jexus, back. ~~She blew him a kiss in her sleep.~~

Genor was very conflicted. "So, what happened to him?"

Jexus shrugged. “I was not there, but apparently he died fighting the cutters.” Jexus face fell slightly. “And that was in vain.”

"Why?"

Jexus sighed again. “That is a long story, and one I would prefer not to go into now. I have painful... memories.”

18:42

(Lots of people are online can we do a fight?)

(sure I can have the big thing happen if u want)

(Oh yes)

Onora heard a shift within the cave, causing her to jolt awake. Her muscles got tight as her light violet eyes scanned the cave.

Genor's rager sense began buzzing through his body as he looked around. "Something's here." (edited)

Smokeswirl sniffed the air. "There is something up ahead."

"More Ferrets? I don't think we can handle that...."

Jexus tense his back and flew closer the the ground, trying to stay as quiet as possible.

18:45

( @(moved accounts) Mikl Pickle get in here)

The halflander hovered right above her bonds back, gripping her wooden staff. Her knuckles turned white.

Genor whispered to himself what he was thinking. "We are all going to die..."

(okay y'all are gonna hate me but i gotta eat dinner skskkfsdj I'll be back to start the thang in a second)

(I am higher rank I order you to stay and finish rp)

(Dr. Doctor wish her luck on her quest for food)

(No)

18:49

“Shut up!” Onora had hissed, swinging her hand in the air at Genor. Some of these people were truly getting annoying.

(I whispered to myself what)

(Onora had super human hearing)

comfort

(Well that doesn't present me with much comfort) (edited)

(I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you father)

(Shut up I will hurt you)

19:54

(I will miss you)

19:54

(Dr. Doctor Sire Father Wells the First, thank you for your service)

Demeter did the same, and after a few yards, the tunnel opened up suddenly. A massive cavern yawned out before them, the other side so far away it was impossible to see. It was dimly lit, though the source was unclear. A few sparse groups of Prowlers padded around, all just as skinny as the ones they had seen before. They had finally reached their homeland.

20:43

(SORRY I DIED)

(Well my lord is temporarily dead)

( @DrBracewell @(moved accounts) Mikl Pickle @𝚊𝚝𝚖𝚘𝚜 )

(Wow you forgot me you JERK)

(you're already here fool)

(Just wait until tomorrow)

(yea)

(They’re all gone)

(I'll send the message again and we can pick up from there tomorrow)

20:50

Demeter did the same, and after a few yards, the tunnel opened up suddenly. A massive cavern yawned out before them, the other side so far away it was impossible to see. It was dimly lit, though the source was unclear. A few sparse groups of Prowlers padded around, all just as skinny as the ones they had seen before. They had finally reached their homeland. (edited)

(Yeah)

(Yo y’all wanna Continue?’

(Yeah)

21:11

(Wait we cant)

(Why?)

(Because we were about to do a fight)

21:12

(And almost no ones here)

21:12

(And there isn’t an opening for a solo-rp)

(Dang it)

(ti gnaD)

21:18

(I got it)

21:18

(If you really want a solo rp)

21:18

(I have an opening)

(I’m here)

(MY LORD)

21:19

(You must sleep)

21:20

(Dr. Doctor, I am concerned about your mental health)

(Yes, we must rp)

Demeter landed quickly, peering out into the massive cavern. Smokeswirl hopped off, crouching low. "We can't just run in like this. We have no idea what's awaiting us."

Jexus landed too, lightly falling onto his feet before letting Onora off.

"We should find their leader." Demeter said in a low tone. "Do they have one?"

Onora nodded, her eyes narrowed as she tried to listen for little scurrying noises. She slid off Jexus.

(Should we move to #prowler-lands ?)

(Yes)

“Looks like we’ve reached Uncharted territory.” Demeter announced.

(Wait)

21:26

(Okay I guess we're in the air again)

(Wait did they land)

(For a bit)

21:27

(We can just assume that they took off)

21:27

(Or we can just have everybody get on their bats and then go)

21:29

(?)

(I’m down with whatever)

(Cool)

21:38

Jessie looked over to Helen, half asleep. "Shouldn't we start flying again?"

(i want to rp)

(Then)

21:39

(Rp)

(Wait I’m confused. They just landed in the uncharted lands or)

(I think that)

21:40

(Hm)

21:41

(Maybe we should have them take off in the #gnawer-lands and arrive in the #uncharted-lands?)

(Idkkk)

(Let's do that?)

Jessie looked around them, not noticing any difference. "How do you know?" She asked Demeter.

(AI DEED NAT HEET HUR, EETS NAT TRU, EETS BOOLSHEET, AI DEED NAT HEET HUR, AI DEED NAT. O HAI MARK.)

(Wolf, do you want to continue where we left off?)

(Imma intrude the convo with jacob)

(Sure)

(Well I gotta day that this was the best rp I’ve had in quite a while, but I’m heading to bed now. Night everyone!)

(Wtf)

(Jesus that sounded passive aggressive as hell)

13:21

(But I’ma head to bed now)

(I need to be comforted by rp so I don't think about my impending doom) (edited)

(Talk to y’all later)

(Comfort)

* Michael just goes up to Jacob and says* “ok I forgive you”

19:54

(Master roleplay skills)

"Well that came our out of everywhere wat took so lon"Jacob said (edited)

19:55

(Master spelling)

19:56

(For reals this time)

19:56

"Well that came from nowhere you're random and I like it"

He sighed. "Yep, I certainly am."

( @Deleted User )

(I'm thinking)

11:56

(I sleep till 12 normally so I'm off my game)

(wow you have been thinking for fifteen and a half hours)

12:01

(this response better be pretty good)

(It wont be)

(oh)

12:02

(don't plan so much denny, things don't always work out)

Genor felt the wind rush though his hair, closing his eyes to enjoy the cool breeze. He turned around, seeing a familiar face. "Aren't you... Gregor?" He asked. (edited)

“Yes”

(I hate you)

14:10

He furrowed his eyebrows, breaking out to a grin. He offered his hand. "I'm Genor. Do you remember me?"

"Vaguely," he said, trying to remember.

"Um... Asshole? Idiot? Nuisance?" He said, trying to jog his memory.

(His face redder than his butt that just hit the ground, he shoved Gregor And who the heck do it think you are, thinking you know everything? I bet that you’re just as lost as I am! Ha!)

(Yes)

"Wh-what? Just because I don't remember you-"

(Lmao)

14:13

Genor realized what he had just said. "N-no, I was describing how I acted when I met you."

"...Oh. Well, don't say that. I've met a lot of assholes and you don't really seem like one."

"Not as much now..." He paused. "Do you remember when you dropped down to go to the Underland? The time before this one?"

"You mean the first time? Oh man, how could I ever forget?"

"No... like the time that you came in and ended up defeating the Prowlers?"

"That was this one," he said, now realizing how much of an idiot Genor was. (edited)

14:36

(bruh he dropped down the first time then he didnt go back up)

(Oh)

14:37

“Yes, and do you remember who you dripped down with?” He asked, now more confused than Gregor.

14:37

(Shut up >:(

"Oh, was that you?

He nodded slowly, wondering how a blind person could remember faces better than him. “Yes... Hi?” He said again, hoping to get a legitimate reaction. (edited)

(maybe because gregor is THE PROPHECIZED WARRIOR and genor is just a ~~slut~~ schmuck)

14:49

"...hi," he said.

(Lmao)

14:52

“Um... nice weather today, huh?” Genor said, positively terrible at conversation.

“We don’t have...” he sighed. “Yep.”

Genor cringed slightly. He straightened his back, adjusting his tie. “What do you think about this quest?” He asked curiously, hoping desperately that Gregor would engage in the conversation. (edited)

( @(moved accounts) Mikl Pickle )

(Sorry I was watching a movie I forgot tell you lmao)

16:52

(I’m so stupid)

16:52

He sighed. “It isn’t going great,” he admitted.

"I'll admit that's my fault"Jacob said after walking away from Micheal for unexplained reasons

(Bruhhh)

(I'm. Not good with casual convo unless it's irl)

(i can tell)

19:26

"Well, not entirely," Gregor said. "Michael and Smokeswirl still refuse to talk to each other, it's just a lot of things." (edited)

"Its still mostly my fault I started the fight that caused that" (edited)

(They’re flying Jacob)

(oh they are?)

(Mhm)

22:08

(Can we start back from the it’s not going so good part?)

(We still flying?)

(mhm)

For most their flights, Bitterbark sat quietly upon his flier - watching the twisting tunnel walls as they flew past and idly trying to memorize their path. He made no effort to talk to his flier, or anyone else who happened to fly close, but after so many trips, even he had started to feel the press of boredom. (edited)

(ahh sorry i just had a pop quiz and i have a time limit)

23:51

(brb in like 5?)

(Kk! I'm slow at starting oof)

23:53

He looked up and noticed one of the does was flying close. He sighed, knowing he was probably gonna regret opening his mouth, but pressed on anyways. "Enjoying all these flights?"

(Cool just finished)

23:55

(Lets see)

23:55

(19/20)

23:55

(Not bad :/)

(Basically an A)

(They don't really grade with A's in B's here)

23:57

(They rank people in the class)

23:57

(Its a far too competitive tbh)

(Basically a top 10?)

(Maybe)

23:58

(Let's see)

23:58

(There are five more minutes left in the exak)

00:00

Shredder looked over, surprised. She always thought of Bitterbark as a hostile creature, and certainly not one to engage conversations with. However, she was glad to make the new friend. She chuckled slightly. "Love these flight so much. I especially love the impending doom that takes over your body the farther you get from your home." She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

00:01

(Oh cool everyone finished)

00:01

(Lets check the boards)

00:01

(sigh)

00:01

(I tied for first with 3 other people)

00:01

(I have never been more relieved yet annoyed at the same time)

00:02

(I will kill you)

00:02

(Dont you dare) Jacob)

As if in a sarcasm battle twinetail remarked "well I just love leaving my home to go on a quest wher3 I will most likely die a painful death" (edited)

(You need to add the italics)

00:04

(~~As if in a sarcasm battle twinetail remarked"well I just love leaving my home to go on a quest wher3 I will most likely die a painful )death"~~

00:05

(As if in a sarcasm battle, twinetail remarked. "Well, I just love leaving my home to go on a quest where I'll most likely die a painful death!" She exclaimed.) (edited)

Bitterbark nodded, expecting as much. Flying was unnatural. "I can't relate on the home part, but my sentiments are the same." (edited)

(Huh??)

00:05

(Bitterbark being sympathetic)

00:05

(Hm)

00:06

She frowned. "Don't you have a place to call home?" She asked.

(All he did was NOD, GOSH, he has FEELIN) (Wait no that sounds fake.)

00:08

Bitterbark grimaced, looking away for a moment so the doe wouldn't see his face twitch. Not even two sentences out and he already regretted his decision. "No. I spend most my time traveling. No point in keeping a nest."

She nodded slowly, understanding this was a sensitive topic. "How do you think we'll do on this quest?" She asked slightly hastily, attempting to switch topics.

"I think we'll be lucky if we even make it to the beast." Bitterbark huffed. "The fact none of us has died so far is a miracle."

"True"

"You do make a fair point." She said, thinking about the group. "But... if we do- what do you think this 'beast' would even be?"

00:18

(Just ignore Twinetail)

"A flutterfly" twine tail said with pure sarcasam (edited)

(What the)

(Lol)

"Ever been to the Tankard?" Bitterbark grinned wildly, looking towards Shredder.

(That's canon)

00:21

(C'mon what about my sarcasm)

(Well duh)

(I meant twinetAil saying flutterfly]

Bitterbark looked over to the other gnawer and rolled his eyes, not bothering to respond to their joke.

(It was sarcasm not a joke)

(Sarcasm is a form of humor. Therefore, a joke.)

(mhm)

(True I'm going to bed)

She shook her head. "I'm afraid not. Why do you ask?"

"There are giant serpents there, that make the Tankard their home. Great beasts that can shake the earth and collapse tunnels with a flick of their tails. If there is a great beast waiting for us, I believe it'd be something of that sort."

(I just saw this, sorry!)

00:42

“Oh shit...” She trailed off with. “Well, whatever the case, I’m sure that we’ll be fine. We do have extremely skilled fighters, after all.”

Bitterbark looked over at Shredder, brow raising a bit in disbelief. What kind life did the doe lead to have such optimism? "Sure," he ended up saying, no conviction in his tone.

00:46

(You're fine, I'm being slow too)

She sighed. “I suppose that some might die.” She said, looking at the particularly weak people in the group. ”But then it is our job to protect them.” She offered. ”The strong protecting the weak.”

If anything, Bitterbark's brow raised even higher, before he broke off into a laugh. "Where in the caves did you tumble out of?" He gasped, before shaking his head. "The weak never last down here, no matter how hard you try to protect them. Maybe not now, or tomorrow, but eventually. Something will get them."

”Not necessarily- I have seen plenty of the strongest die while the weakest survive. They may be weak today, tomorrow, but eventually, they will learn to defend themselves. We simply have to help them get there.”

Bitterbark shrugged, "once they learn that, they're no longer weak. Innocence lost and all that batshit." His flier huffed, but Bitterbark ignored him.

(hm, how do I respond to this?)

(Shit should I add more?)

(no it's good, I'm just drawing a blank right now)

(My bad, Bitterbark is an ass even to writers)

(It’s not your fault I’m just stupid)

01:29

“So, if a child was in peril, would you not save them?” She asked.

He sighed, "I'm not just gonna let a pup fall off a cliff, if that's what you're asking. But I'm also not going to stick my neck out for a kid that gets in over their head and runs into a pit of stingers." (edited)

She shrugged. “I suppose you do have a point.” She said. ”But would you protect a friend? A human? A stranger?” She questioned, pondering his limits.

"I don't have friends." He stated simply, "And protection is not a word I would use. I will... fight for someone. If there is a good enough reason for it. A benefit to me."

”You can't be serious- What about your consciousness? The concept of solely perpetrating good?” She asked.

He laughed again. Honestly, what rock had this doe been sleeping under for the past.... forever? "Solely perpetrating- do you hear yourself?" Bitterbark's face dropped. "What good is there to perpetrate? What's the point when somewhere down the tunnel, some assholes are going to pitch a fit and kill thousands over it?"

01:59

"Being good isn't going to keep your loved ones safe."

Shredder thought about her parents, and how their tenets of functioning for the benefit of others had got them. ”Perhaps not. But being kind helps you enjoy the trivial aspects of life, purely for the purpose of making it more enjoyable for yourself and others. After all, what is the point in any of this if you can't attend to yourself.”

Bitterbark smiled bitterly, "any enjoyment I had in life, died ages ago."

Shredder smiled grimly. ”How well did you know them?”

"As well as one could." Bitterbark looked down over his flier's back. "Family."

(Who are we talking about? Brother? Parents? Sister? Wife? Kids?)

(Siblings and the siblings kids.)

02:25

(He hasn't really talked about it much.)

(oh okay)

02:26

”I’m sorry to hear that.” She said solemnly.

"It happens," Bitterbark replied, tonelessly. "I'm sure everyone here has a similar story."

02:27

He nodded towards her. "You, probably."

(sorry about that)

(It's okay haha)

She nodded. ”My parents. They were killed protecting a pup in the labyrinth.” She looked around, realising that Bitterbark was right. ”A shame we must live in this world.” She said quietly.

Bitterbark frowned. He finally understood the doe, or at least understood how she was the way she was. Inherited her parents unfortunate virtuous streak it seemed. "They sounded like good people," he responded quietly.

(Goddamnit Sorry i fell asleep)

(It's okay, goooo to sleeep)

(I should be telling you that lol)

02:56

(You're the one in the states)

(Why, just cause it's 2 AM for me? HA)

(Also why is Bitterbark calling Shredder Doe

(That's the terminology for rat females. Males are bucks, and kids are pups.)

(Oh)

02:58

(Interesting factoid)

Image attachment

She smiled dolefully. They were the most compassionate people she ever knew. "What befell upon your loved ones?"

(Yeah! I looked it up while writing a fic, since since saying male and female seemed weird)

(You learn something new everyday!)

Bitterbark stayed silent for a moment, silently debating whether or not to say. "The plague took them," he finally replied.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Shredder said gravely. She understood Bitterbarks hostility towards the Killers now. (edited)

(Lol, he actually hasn't been hostile towards the humans, he was just like back seating Smokeswirl and Cinder's spat. He's more, "everyone sucks and I hate it here.")

(Ah okay)

"It's the past, there's no changing it now." His eyes darkened. "What killed your parents..? Do you know?"

”No- they left me. They went out to find food with one of their friends. Only he returned.” She said sadly. ”Who were they?” She said signaling to his deceased members. (edited)

(Do you mean his?)

(oh yeah)

"My sisters... and their pups. They nested close to each other, so their families could play together, so when one nest got sick - the other followed suit."

03:29

Bitterbark shook his head, as if trying to dispel the memories. "Did you ever tried to find out what killed them? Or who?" He asked, still curious. "Was it an accident or?"

Shredder, getting the sense Bitterbark didn't want to converse about their deaths. ”I'm afraid not. Apparently, they saw some insatiable rats roaming around, cornering a pup which its parents they killed. They could have lived if their coward of a friend fought with them.” She spat.

"Did the pup live?" He asked.

”I wouldn't think it did.” She said. ”All in vain...”

"Have you ever wanted to track down that group? Repay them for what they did in kind?"

“Oh absolutely.” She said. “But what would I do agains pt them? My parents were skilled fighters. I would not be able to win singlehandedly.”

Bitterbark swept his tail forward, towards where all the others were flying. "Are these not your friends?" (edited)

She chuckled. “What would be the odds of finding them?” She said. “It is called the labyrinth for a reason. No, it’s best to let karma take its course in this scenario.”

"I would have hunted them down," Bitterbark admitted. "Maze or not, I would not have had the peace of mind to let whatever fate befall them."

“Keep in mind, I was only a pup when this happened. They would have no mercy on me. And their bitch friend wouldn’t be any help.”

"You grew up eventually," Bitterbark said, tail flicking towards her, "and they can have only grown old, if they yet live."

She glanced at her claws, still as sharp as ever. She looked back up at him, a fierce rat. Shredder herself dedicated her life to fighting in the hole she would not meet the same fate as parents. ”One day... I will go to the labyrinth. I will find them. And I will slaughter them.” Shd promised.

Bitterbark saw the determination in the doe's gaze, and nodded his head in approval. "If I'm still around by then, I'd be happy to lend a claw." Bitterbark detested a lot of things, but he wouldn't deny having a sore spot against creatures that preyed on families.

(do you want to continue this? Or do you want to go to bed?)

(Okay, yeah, I'm close to passing out)

(Lmao)

04:12

(Night!)

(Goodnight! Or day?)

(Lol, go to sleep)

(Fiiine)

(> "It's the past, there's no changing it now." His eyes darkened. "What killed your parents..? Do you know?" @Presley )

13:10

(What happened to time traveling presley)

(It's not canon outside of the mushrooms channel.)

Twinetail began"hey shredder do you ever wonder what If we were killers or even overlanders?" (edited)

(Thank you sir)

01:30

(Use your *s)

(I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING RANDOM TO SAY)

01:31

(Whoops caps lock)

(Use your *s)

01:31

(Italicize)

01:32

(It makes the roleplay look more structured and makes a differentiation between the dialogue and actions)

(RESPOND!!!!)

(thank you)

01:33

She furrowed her eyebrows. Weird. ”No, not really?”

"I always thought what If we were what would it be like"

01:35

"I always thought about what it would be like to be a different species"

What weird things to think She thought to herself silently. ”Um- I guess it would be interesting.”

"Trust me, it isnt that great to be a human." Sky spoke up.

"No experience"twinetail responded sarcastically

01:37

(Sky I love being human)

(eh)

(Humans are the best)

(I would rather be like a rat

)

(Ok buck)

”How so?” Shredder asked curiously.

(Same)

"Trust me it's not fun I would love to have claws" Jacob said

01:39

(Jacob has returned)

Sky looked to the two. "Our opposable thumbs do more harm than good. They just make things that do more damage than anything else. Like guns. You could never use a gun, and that's a good thing. You can't kill hundreds of people in a few minutes like we can."

(I like how Jacob is wielding all three of his characters at once)

(I can try to throw shydir in)

”But still.” Shredder began. ”Its nearly impossible to pick anything up comfortably.”

"Try being a flier you have wings instead of arms your a bigger target in battles" shydir said (edited)

Sky nodded. "I could see how that could be an issue Shredder." He replied after some thought. "That is one nice thing about thumbs" (edited)

01:43

Sky then looked to Shydie. "But you arent always on the ground to be a target."

"That's true but to fight you have to be close enough"

01:44

"Unless sky's on your back with a gun" Jacob said

She nodded. ”What else is hard about being a human?” She asked.

"Well humans are probably one of the weakest inhabitants of the underland"

01:45

"In terms of defense"

"Maybe it's just for overlanders, but we have too much emotion. We let it get in our way and it slows us down."

"In terms of attack if underlanders could make guns every one else is f**ed" *Jacob said (edited)

She shook her head. ”Not necessarily. Emotions are reflected across all species, not only humans. It's simply in the Underland you learn to block it out.”

(I'll be right back)

"What is a gun" twinetail questioned

01:49

"Its what sky used back against the scuttlers" Jacob explained

01:49

"I was wondering what that was anyway" shydir spoke up

01:50

(Damn I never tried using all 3 of them in one convo it works great)

01:50

(Can't wait to try all 4 once hazard comes in after the quest)

(no)

(What do you mean)

"So it probably is just an Overland thing then." Sky replied. "I cant really think of too many bad things, its mostly just the opposable thumbs that makes everything harder."

"Well if you think about it overlanders are only at the top of the overland food chain because of the opposable thumbs without them that couldent pick up half the things they do and they couldent build or realy anything"Jacob said

"I mean like, it makes fighting easier and it makes killing easier."

(Oh you responded)

12:38

"But we also have advantages. Such as claws, wings, echolocation, not to mention sheer strength." She offered.

(who said that)

(bruh only a fraction of a fraction of blind people have echolocation) (edited)

12:39

(wait bruh im such an idiot)

12:40

(i thought she meant overlanders but i didnt notice claws or wings lmao)

(None of your characters have wings 3kats)

(michael has wings)

12:40

(can i rp)

(Sure just join in the convo)

Gregor walked over. "Hey," he said casually.

12:41

(damn hes so cool)

~~"No one fucking cares about you gregor your worthless bitch"~~

(what the frick)

"Hey ever thought about what it would be like to be a gnawer" shydir casually said

(I know none of my characters have wings I was talking about the main creatures on this quest)

(Ok)

(3kats can you fix ripred)

Shredder shook her head. "~~Weird ass bitch~~ No, not really."

12:44

(I will once we get the opportunity)

(I was talking to gregor)

(what if shredder seduces him)

(We already had that convo)

12:44

(Wait what

12:45

(Who twinetail)?

(What)

(no ripred)

Shredder jumped to Ripred's bat. "Hey sexy." She giggled slightly. "What if me and you take it to the caves." She traced her claw along his lips. "And make love you plenteous asshole." (edited)

~~"hell yeah"~~

(What the fuck)

(Emphasis on the fuck)

Shredder woke up, stretching her back. She looked up at Shydir, still gliding effortlessly through the air. "Hi Shydir." She said sleepily. "How are you?"

"Good, how are You doing"

"I'm getting bored." She said truthfully. "It seems to be taking far longer than expected."

"Well that's quests for You"

“Guys, please, I have one request,” Michael said as he walked over. “Please just use correct grammar and punctuation. When my quote is finished but it’s not the end of the sentence, don’t use a period, use a comma,” he said. “Don’t just end the sentence without a period, question mark, exclamation mark, or ellipses. And don’t capitalize random words like you. Alright, peace,” he said, disappearing into the shadows.

~~(They're flying)~~ (edited)

22:12

(Oh lol)

22:12

(Nvm lol)

(Idiot)

(Shut up mikl)

(

)

(Shit my phones gonna die)

(But MIchael is right)

(Bye)

(Bye)

(Jacob just can’t handle the truth so he’s fleeing like a baby bird)

(Like it's says 0%)

(3kats i know what youre gonna say just dont say it)

(?)

20:50

(i wasnt going to say anything)

(hes gonna say a slur)

(What)

(Lets rp)

"Heyyy," Michael said uncomfortably, sitting down next to Smokeswirl.

(wait)

20:50

(whats going on)

(you're gonna say "We'Re fLyInG") (edited)

(We'Re fLyInG)

20:51

(also why would I say slur)

(son of a BITCH)

(because you are evil)

"A slur." Genor said proudly.

(3kats i swear shut the hell up)

(Lol)

(youre so ANNOYING)

Smokeswirl raised a brow, long tail lashing once to the side. "What."

(bruh remember when there were super dark moments in the rp then @Ewfawfa (Nexus/Coilthroat/Chloe) would just have chloe come in and be like "i shit myself")

20:54

"Alright, good talk!" he said nervously as he uncomfortably speed-walked away.

(Who knows what I’m gonna say)

(formal speed walking)

20:55

(I THOUGHT TEY WERE ON BATS)

(HA

20:55

(IT WASNT ME)

(Walks off the bat and dies)

(bruh earlier i said he sat down next to her)

(GIANT JOINT CONVORSATION)

(nvm)

(And

I decided to

trying to get back to the meili)

Congratulations, @Deleted User, you've fulfilled 23 prophecies!

(Cool)

"It didn't work," he said to Demeter, glancing at Smokeswirl.

“You left after she said one word.” Demeter said.

(Congratulations!)

(Fair point)

(Am I missing something? What didn't work?)

(Michael trying to talk to smokeswirl)

"Yeah," he said. "And?"

(oh lol)

“You’re going to have to actually talk to her. Of course she’ll be abrasive at first.” Demeter said gently.

(Let’s Vc)

(im good)

(Kk)

"I really don't think she wants to talk to me," he said sadly.

“You don’t know that unless she says so herself.”

"She said it by saying 'WHAT??'. Read inbetween the lines, Demeter," he said.

(We should get crackhead Michael back)

(yes and then he tries to talk to her while hes on drugs and she doesnt know hes on drugs)

21:16

(wolf make this happen)

Demeter shook her head. “That doesn’t mean anything. She just said ‘what.’”

"Aggressively."

21:17

"Here are some painkillers," *Howard said." "thanks buddy" *repli9ed mikl gracefully"

21:17

HE ATE THEM ALL UP

(yEs)

“She says everything aggressively.”

"Okay, fine," he sighed. "I'll try again."

“Good.”

"Heyyy," Michael said uncomfortably, sitting down next to Smokeswirl.

“What now?” She asked, growing annoyed. He had said hey, left, then came back to say the same thing. And she was already peeved.

"Alright, good talk!" he said nervously as he uncomfortably speed-walked away.

(Wow)

21:28

(Michael is a social master)

(Ikr)

(I can't help but imagine this ever Michael speed walks away)

21:44

Smokeswirl gnashed her teeth and turned around in frustration.

"It didn't work," he said to Demeter, glancing at Smokeswirl.

(Chloe walks up to everyone "I shit myself," She then walks away again never to be seen again)

(did that message inspire you to rejoin)

(Of course it did)

12:06

(This is Ewfawfa we're talking about)

Jessie nervously began to get up, rubbing her eyes. She was still surprised she managed to sleep on the bat without falling off. She looked around, seeing Sky. "Hey Sky." She said, turning around to talk.

( @Logged off you still here?)

(Sorry, didnt get the notif) Sky had been chillin for a while thinking, and when he heard Jessie talk, he shot out of thought, and trying to regain his bearings replied, "Hey Jes."

"How much longer do you think it will be?" She asked. The Underland was starting to get to her.

"How long will what be?" (edited)

"Before we get back." She said nervously, looking around in the darkness.

Sky thought for a minute, before sighing. "I honestly dont know, it all depends on how long everything will take to blow over."

"Your drug cartel thing, you mean?" She said spitefully. "You need to argue way more quieter."

02:54

(The grammar on Jessie is clearly amazing)

Sky glanced back to her. "Yeah.. that.." He said very slowly. "But that is a fairly big problem right now."

She grumbled silently. “Why don’t you just kill them or something?”

"There are way to many of them out there for two people who are at each others throats to take out."

"Why?" She began. "Why are you even arguing?" She asked. (edited)

"Its.. complicated." Sky replied quickly.

“Then explain it.” Jessie said.

Sky sighed. He didn't wanna sound biased, but he didnt know how else to explain it. "To put it simply, we are arguing over why we didwhat we did with the cartel." He said, casually skipping the part about Jane.

14:16

"That's pretty... trivial?" She said, considering the near death experiences between the two.

Sky nodded. "Its not an amazing thing to argue about, to be honest."

She squinted her eyes. "You're hiding something..."

"What?" He asked, doing his best to sound confused.

"Don't get me wrong, you guys are idiots- but not that stupid." She said nonchalantly. (edited)

Sky looked down. "Its a lot more complicated.. and I cant really explain it "

"Why not?"

"I dont want to tell you my side and bias you."

"Well do." She said, curious. "I don't really trust Genor's side right now."

Sky shook his head. "No. I dont wanna drag you into this. I dont want you to hate Genor. I want you to be able to have a friendship with him again. And I dont wanna be the one who could possibly ruin that."

She sighed. "Please? Sky, I'll ask his viewpoint or whatever later."

mikl took a GINORMOUS FUCKING SHIT on the ground

15:36

(bruh if i was not owner i would be in so much trouble)

(You would be banned by now 100%)

Sky looked back to her, before nodding very slowly. "Fine, but remember, this is only how I saw it, and Genor will have experienced it a much different way."

15:38

(Honestly tho)

She nodded. "What happened?"

"Remember when you and Jane were taken?" Sky started slowly.

She subconsciously rubbed her bruised shoulder from where they violently kidnapped her. “Yes.”

15:52

(I’m so sorry, but I’m too sleepy to rp rn.)

15:52

(Continue this later?)

(Sure!)

15:56

"Well, we have differing opinions on how the guys should have been handled.. and how Jane may have been saved.."

Her face fell ever so slightly. “Oh.”

Sky nodded slightly. "That's why I didnt wanna talk about it."

She looked away, guilt washing over her. "I'm sorry for your loss." She said quietly, knowing how important she was to Sky.

Sky sighed slightly. "Thanks, it was too soon. But that's why we were fighting."

She nodded. "Do you think you'll ever stop?"

"I dont know.." Sky said. He hated that he didnt, he missed when they were friends..

She turned silent. Jessie always thought that this was a silly argument between friends- but this? This was far more serious than she had ever predicted. "Oh." She said silently.

00:22

(Ima hop on vc if you wanna join btw)

(she said silently) (edited)

01:20

He nodded, before looking away into the cave. This was why he didnt wanna tell her. He didnt wanna have her learn about all this stuff that she shouldn't have to deal with right now, when she was dealing with the entire Underland.

( @3katsiMe (Gen/Shr/Jes) )

Bitterbark looked about the cave the group had settled in, sniffing the air cautiously before settling down. Camp or not, they still could very well be attacked at any moment. The Uncharted Lands were uncharted for a reason. He eyed the cave's exits warily, snapping down on some fish bones. "How long till we hit the Flutterers' Lands?"

Shredder groaned, supporting herself up. "Not long." She said, observing their surroundings. "Or maybe very long. I have no clue." She said honestly.

Demeter folded her wings. “We are very close. It is likely we will arrive tomorrow.”

00:13

“Good.” Smokeswirl grumbled. “I’m getting sick of all this flying.”

"I'm getting sick of fish."

Shredder nodded. "This is all becoming rather tiring." (edited)

“Right.” Smokeswirl agreed. “Perhaps if we run out of fish, we can start eating troublesome questers.”

Shredder eyed Jacob, Genor, and Sky. "Perhaps... not?" (edited)

Bitterbark snorted, "they'd be about as tasteless as how they'd view your joke."

Genor furrowed his eyebrows in the distance. That was rather rude.

00:22

(I can chill in vc for a bit if anyone wants to join)

(I can’t :()

( :( )

“You all do not have to come, if you would rather stay behind.” Demeter said with serious concern. “I mean it without any judgement.”

Shredder lightly laughed. "And go where? I believe we're all to far deep to travel back safely without the group."

(To hell)

“You could possibly make it back to the Gnawers’ territory on foot.” Demeter suggested weakly. “I just don’t want to make anyone come on a quest they would rather not join in on. Quests are stressful affairs.”

"Forwards or back, there's still only fish." Bitterbark sighed, cracking the bone in his mouth.

Shredder sighed, starving. She looked back at the troublesome three... maybe eating them wouldn't be so bad? "Is there really nothing else to eat?" SHe asked turning back to the group. "Except fish?"

“Could you stop, please”jacob said trying to take a nap

“We need to save the packed provisions until we can no longer hunt for ourselves.” Demeter said to Shredder. “It’s not ideal, but we must.”

"You could try to hunt down a scuttler," Bitterbark suggested blandly, "whatever toxin they've got pumping in 'em probably adds some flavor."

She groaned lightly. "I suppose it makes sense." Hearing Bitterbark's comment, she choked slightly. "Yes, wonderful flavor." She sarcastically remarked.

"Just one bite of that and you'll never have to eat fish again... or anything else really."

“Sounds wonderful.” Smokeswirl agreed.

Shredder smiled, enjoying the casual discussion. The group finally seemed to be lightening up.

"We should start coming across some plants soon," Bitterbark added, "if we are getting close to the Flutterers' lands. They're not as tasty as fish, but at least there'll be some variety."

“The Flutterers cultivate plants in their cavern. I have tasted them, they are almost sweet.” Demeter said.

Shredder immediately perked up. "Hm? Plants?" (edited)

“Yes, they are quite pleasant.” Demeter continued.

“One time jacob told me about honey suckles do you know of them”twinetail questioned

Shredder shook her head absentmindedly, still focusing on the plants. "No, I'm afraid not."

“They are a type of plant that have sweet nectar in their blossoms that taste and smell close to honey thus the name”twinetail said vaguely remembering Jacobs explaination

"I remember.. the blossoms from the apple trees." Bitterbark said quietly.

Shredder's face fell quickly. "Yes, the apple trees."

“I mean like petals but they don’t look the same”

“I think we all remember the apple trees.” Smokeswirl said darkly.

(I think you misread the room Jacob) (edited)

(The website I’m reading from Calls the petals blossoms)

Smokeswirl was a pup when the incident had occurred. She was fortunate to not have been in the caves at the time. But she grimaced as she remembered when many of her playmates were never seen again. And she remembered what the adults had all said. ‘Humans.’ There was always venom in their voices. They had done that. She was only a pup, but she knew to hate them even then.

(Oof)

(you misread the room not the website)

"Just another reminder that whatever this is," Bitterbark's tail swept around the cave, gesturing to all the different creatures gathered together for the quest, "it won't last. It never does."

(Ik what you said)

Shredder gently put her paw on Smokeswirl. She looked at Bitterbark. "You never know. We are in peace now, and I hope that this never changed." (edited)

(Shredder put her paw on Shredder, her clone.)

(Yes)

01:01

(I did not type that wrong) (edited)

“I hope so I do believe this is our longest age of peace with the humans yet”

(No, the previous one lasted two hundred years i thought?)

(I don’t pay enough attention)

“Look at the patterns. It’s easy to see why Bitterbark may just be right.” Smokeswirl said.

Shredder sighed. She knew that they were right. "Then perhaps it is up to use to... hold it off? War never benefits any side, we all know that." She offered gently, holding off her rage.

“Well let’s take a head count we have the warrior the peacemaker even though I’m not sure how useful ripred will be and we have sandwich’s prophecy’s so we both have a fighting force, vague predictions of the future and someone who supposedly makes peace”twinetail said hopefully

(Why did you say peacemaker twice)

Bitterbark shrugged. "War or not, there will always be fighting. Creatures itching to have some form of power in this hellhole we chose to nest in."

Helen had been listening in silently, hesitant to join in. “Grudges must be thrown away Save scrapping for another day Without trust all will be lost Buried beneath the gathering frost.” She added quietly, quoting the very prophecy they were following.

“That’s fair” he said to bitter bark

(bruh)

01:08

(Also where's this prophecy coming from)

01:08

(Oh found it nvm)

(Wdym)

01:08

(Oh)

(Helen is right they do need to throw away grudges)

(I mean sandwich wrote it) (Helen wishes)

(This prophecy makes more sense than most)

Shredder hesitated. "Returned is the Warrior, one of two lands Holding the connection within his hands"

(Small brain: Helen is right Medium brain: sandwich is right Big brain: Wolf is right because she wrote this prophecy)

(Its actually a pretty nice prophecy)

(I assumed everything you say is true miss I wrote the plot and prophecy)

(Thank you I worked very hard on it)

"Yes, yes," Bitterbark said, waving his hand dismissively, "be nice and work together and maybe we won't all die a gruesome death. We got it."

(Wait what if I’m sandwich)

(Bitterbark has no respect)

(g a s p)

(Reincarnated as a gay 4’11 ugly bitch)

(gasp)

Shredder groaned. "We had a whole thing going."

(I'm taller than Sandwhich? HECK YEAH)

Helen gave an exaggerated thumbs up to Bitterbark. “He gets it.”

01:11

(I imagine the original sandwich was 8 feet tall(

(Well damn it)

“Once agin casual convo turns to talk of death and war”twinetail said sadly

(Are we talking about food or the dude)

(Both)

(How I the here would you eat an 8 foot tall sandwich)

(you would chew it)

01:14

(Genius)

"Oh, so quoting the prophecy about our possible dooms was just casual conversation," Bitterbark drawled back sarcastically. "My mistake." (edited)

“We were just talking about plants and stuff then it turned to this conversation”

01:16

(We were literally just talking about food and now this)

"Plants." Shredder said again, tilting her head. "Demeter, how far are we from the Flutter's Land?"

(We were talking about food, then plants, then flowers, then the Garden, then racism, then war, then the prophecy.)

“Not far.” She repeated. “We will reach it tomorrow.”

01:17

(That’s how most of my conversations go)

(Mood.)

(Jacob: i like flowers Everyone: you know what I don’t like? Racism)

(Twinetail said something about honey suckles now this)

(Jacob, you're racist?)

01:19

(I always thought you were, but still)

01:19

(Dissapointed)

(I’m Satan wtf do you expect)

01:19

(Jk I’m fucking black)

(Uh the real devil is actually anti racism and an LGBT ally)

(hm)

(I am an lgbt ally my best friend is gay)

(Interesting choice)

"Do much longer do we have to fly," Bitterbark groaned, cracking his neck pointedly.

(Presley quote ygotas)

01:25

(Shut up mokuba)

"Perhaps we land and rest?" Shredder said tiredly. While her thirst for plants were slowly consuming her, she was becoming annoyed at the obscene amount of flying they were doing. (edited)

“I don’t know.” Demeter shrugged. “It will not be long.* “Stop whining. You’ll be wishing you had a Flier to carry you once we get to the colder parts where we all have to walk.”

(Look at me, I'm Seto Kaiba, I have a dragon fetish and I sound like Brock from Pokémon. Screw the rules, I'm in love with Nurse Joy.) (edited)

The group flew quietly through a smaller passage. It was a familiar place, and they were very close to the Flutterers' cavern. Very suddenly, a flash of movement came from out of nowhere. Demeter tried to stop in mid air, tumbling for a moment and letting out a surprised shout. Her bristling fur smoothed down when she realized that the sudden flash of movement had come from a stone-grey moth. It had been blending into the cave wall so smoothly that it had been nearly invisible. The moth, which had been fluttering its broad wings in surprise, landed on the floor too as it recognized the group.

Shredder perked up, hearing the sound of smooth buzzing. "Are we here? Can we eat plants now?"

Grace's heart dropped as the flier she was riding jerked suddenly to a stop. She heard a his from one of the gnawers behind her as the rest of the group stopped as well.

The moth's wings folded against its fluffy body, surveying the group. "You have returned." They said in a soft voice, with mild surprise. "I will bring you to the cavern, if you will follow. Once you have fed, we will ask you then what you come for." The moths had always been hospitable. Smokeswirl was glad that food would come before questions. They had a lot to catch up on with the Flutterers.

Shredder smiled widely, hearing about good. Genor sighed, remembering their dull experience with the Flutterers. "Why are we stopping here again?"
